 Members seminar
"This time it will be different!" – an alternative take
on "rebirth" from classical Buddhism
Sunday 30 March
11 am - 12.30 pm
Tara Hills Retreat Centre
In this seminar John Burston will explore links between emotions,
where they come from and where they lead to, and classical Buddhist
writings on the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. The classical
teachings describe cycles as occuring from lifetime to lifetime,
but a more useful approach can be to look at what makes us act or
move in this life, and why patterns or events tend to repeat themselves.

Formal Visualisation
Direct Insight
Sunday 11 May
11 am - 12.30 pm
Tara Hills Retreat Centre
Dr Graham Williams
This formal visualisation
works with the quality of developing concentration and will, so that
"the many moments of consciousness scattered throughout memory
are collected to one, leading to insight". Developing and strengthening
concentration to cut through emotional conflict is another aspect
of this visualisation.

Members' Seminar
 Freedom as embracing the unknown
— a philosophical perspective
Dr Lisa Hancock
Sunday 24 August
11 am - 12.30 pm
Tara Hills Retreat Centre
How does this view of freedom help us answer the
Big questions: What is Truth? What is Reason?
What is Justice?
Drawing on material from Lisa’s recently completed PhD Autonomy as Creative Action we will explore how the meditative experience of 'letting go' can shed light on how we think about these ‘universal’ values. This session will include a brief introduction to western philosophy’s take on these values, as well as opportunities to reflect on how you make sense of them yourself.

Members' Formal Visualisation
Session
Luminosity of form
Sunday 26 October
11 am - 12.30 pm
Tara Hills Retreat Centre
This formal visualisation is for cultivating a quality of mind
which sees all form as luminous. It links in with the exercises
used in Yoga-Tantra, and is for keeping your mind flexible and open.
Everything in life is constantly changing; by holding to the luminosity
of form you can learn to stay with what is happening rather than
getting weighed down with hopes or expectations.

About Members' Seminars
- These seminars have been set up to provide an oportunity
for members to share their experiences of meditation and its
integration into everyday life. All members are encouraged
to attend, to ask questions and gain some insights from fellow
meditators' experiences. Each seminar is presented by a member
of the Centre, who may or may not be a teacher - so it's a
great way to hear about meditation from a variety of persectives.
- Each
seminar is free for all Lifeflow members.
About
Members' Formal Visualisation Sessions
- Each half-year, one of a series of 12 formal meditations
are held at Tara Hills. These meditations, with their mantras,
can help you to become more familiar with different kinds
of healthy emotional states. Through practice you can develop
the these states, and learn to access them at will.
- Prerequisites apply:
Members who wish to attend this session must have attended at
least two of the Formal Visualisation Sessions held at our City
Studio. These are normally held at the end of each half year.
- Payment
for this session is by donation.
About Members' Forums
- Members' Forums have been set up to allow time to focus on
questions that members may have about their meditation work.
A whole session may be devoted to a single question, and the
sessions often cover material that is not presented at the
Levels courses.
- Each
forum is free for all Lifeflow members.
These sessions also provide a great opportunity to connect with a
broader community of meditators.
