What's the purpose of meditation? Why do it? How important is it to forgive yourself and let go of guilt? Can meditation become a way to heal our psyche? Do we spend enough time feeling good about what we can and are doing? What role does practising compassion play in healing ourselves and our world?
Join Ven Kathleen McDonald and Scott Snibbe on Tuesday 13th September at 5pm BST ( check your time zone here) for a discussion on these and other questions. The session includes a meditation on compassion guided by Ven Kathleen McDonald who wrote the best-selling book "How to Meditate".
