What to bring and wear
Bring a notepad/writing book/journal/diary and a writing implement. If sitting on the floor you will benefit from bringing your own mat, towel or blanket, and a cushion or pillow if you like. Some find a blanket, to place over legs or wrap around them, to be a welcome addition. Chairs are available for those who prefer them. Wear what you feel comfortable in. Many prefer loose clothing and comfortable waist bands. Layers are good so that you can maintain your own comfortable temperature. You may like to bring a bottle of water.

Dharma Support Groups in the
Reflective Meditation (RM) approach
Community, sangha is one of the most valuable aspects of RM. The co-creation of spaces / spaces/groups that feel safe enough to practice together and generously witness each other’s meditation experiences.
Anna and Tina support people within our sangha to find and join these ongoing groups. Often new groups arise post retreats. There are currently 5 small intimate groups meeting on a fortnightly or monthly basis. Some choose to meet online and others in person.
Please feel free to contact Anna or Tina if you wish to either establish a new RM group or wish to explore joining one.
