January 2018 - London Gatherings



It was a joy to kick-off the New Year with many of you at our second Awakin Movie Circle with Phil Borges and his incredibly insightful documentary, CRAZYWISE, which provided us with an in-depth lens into the lives of people who suffer from severe mental illnesses. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming Awakin Circles this month.

Awakin Circles: Shoreditch, Brighton, Mill Hill

Each month, you're invited to join Awakin Circles at locations around London, where we meditate for the first hour, engage in a circle of sharing based on a reading, and conclude with a home-cooked vegetarian dinner together.

Sareena and Ariyana (Trishna's daughters) have been invited to share on Saturday afternoon their own life experiences of practicing compassion towards animals, inspired by a book they love, That's Why We Don't Eat Animals. You may also enjoy joining the Kindness Flashmob on Blue Monday, to spread some smiles on the most depressing day of the year!
• Connected by Humanity: You're invited to join our friend Richard's next labour-of-love gathering on Feb 9th from 3-6pm, where the circle will collectively explore the theme 'Role Models' -- who inspires you and what role did they play in shaping your journey? Tickets are offered as a gift and you're invited to pay it forward to cover venue hire costs for future gatherings.
