Macclesfield Gatherings - 11/07

Dear friends

With much love and many blessings
Laura
 
Tuesday 12th July 12.30 – 1.30 pm: Tao on Tuesday in the Chapel
Join us for our meditation on the Tao Te Ching. We read a short passage, enjoy a time of shared silence for meditation and then share our reflections on the text. All welcome.
 
 

Tuesday 12th July 7.30 – 8.15 pm: Loving Awareness Meditation on Zoom

Join the Unitarian Transformers for a meditation on love. When there are many things happening in the world which seem to be motivated by fear and greed, it can be difficult to remember that love makes the world go round. In this meditation, inspired by the meditation and mindfulness teachings of Ram Dass, we will connect with the energy of unconditional love and radiate it out into the universe. No previous experience of meditation required. All welcome.
 
PLEASE NOTE TUESDAY MEDITATIONS WILL NOW START AT THE LATER TIME OF 7.30 PM.
