On September 5, 2026, at the Shrewsbury Triratna Buddhist Centre in Shrewsbury, a one-day workshop titled "Meeting Both Demons & Friends" will take place. The event promises to explore meditation and movement techniques for fostering presence and embracing life's challenges. Tickets are priced at £25.00.
A workshop with meditation & movement exploring how we can be present for whatever life offers
Agitation due to circumstances occurs when because of an external incident, you follow a thought, and your mind becomes agitated and scatters into a disturbing emotion. When that happens, keep the attitude of “There is no need to do anything!”. (Padmasambhava)
We live in very unsettled times - there are many disturbances in the world, politically, in the society and ecologically. While we might be a bit shielded from it all, here in Europe - for now - it is never too early to train ourselves in skills that will help us to be present, with eyes and heart open, whatever difficulties we encounter.
This workshop will bring embodiment to the practice of meditation and allow for our presence in full vitality and joyful exploration. We will explore being rooted in ourselves, while listening and opening to others and the world.
We will meet from 1.30pm to 6.30pm on the Saturday and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
For the weekend, we ask for a non-refundable deposit of £25 at the point when you book to secure your place. We are running this weekend on the basis of dana and an additional contribution of £60 - £90 can be made directly to the centre on the day.
If you are not able to afford the deposit and would like to book onto the retreat then please email the coordinator: coordinator@shrewsburybuddhistcentre.co.uk
