Venerable Aileen Barry will speak about why we come to meditation? How does it benefit us? How do we show up in the world? Are we becoming more sincere, kind, loving, honest with ourselves and others? Can we be ok with not being ok? Join us to explore these and other questions - bring along your own questions. Whether new to meditation or experienced, all are welcome. We will share some practice and discussion together on how we can become more familiar with how things really are so we can engage more fully and with ease with whatever arises in our life.

About the teacher: Venerable Aileen Barry (Thubten Chotso) became a Buddhist nun some 20 years ago. She served Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo and Venerable Robina Courtin in helping spread the dharma all over the world. She has been guiding meditation practitioners for many years across a wide variety of settings including: dharma centres, community centres, prisons, the corporate world, various online groups and as a lecturer within a Naturopathic College. Mingyur Rinpoche and Tsoknyi Rinpoche are among her main meditation teachers and she has attended many retreats with both. She draws from a broad range of teachers, across traditions, appreciating the different perspectives they have to offer, to help deepen her understanding and experience. Regular solitary and group retreats remain an essential underpinning to support her practice.
