If you’re wanting a practice of meditation that is secular in orientation and framed by Buddhist ethical and philosophical values, One Mindful Breath explores the role of mindfulness in embracing the suffering of life, letting go of the dictates of reactivity, experiencing the calm and clarity of spaciousness, and cultivating creative engagement as a way of being in the world.

‘Beginners’ Mind’ on the first Weds of the month offers a chance to experience a short meditation practice. Whether you’ve never meditated or you tried but found it too hard, you’re most welcome to come along. You’ll find out you won’t be trying to ‘stop your thoughts’, and you will be learning a useful skill.

  • Wednesday evenings • 7:15 to 9:15pm
    The Friends’ Centre, 7 Moncrieff St, Mt Victoria

Find out more from Alex – send him an email, phone/text him on 021 921 821 or go to onemindfulbreath.org.nz and sign up for a quarterly newsletter; click here for the most recent newsletter.
