Events
Our first batch of events went swimmingly. We had Dhamma Talks—15 minutes of meditation followed by some tea and Buddhist theory from Waking Up and James Low. We also had a casual chess meet and Sunday Reading .More events of a similar ilk will be announced early in the new year of Two Thousand and Twenty Seven.If you've got any cool ideas, if you fancy another kind of event like a literature or philosophy discussion group or art gallery excursions or something else entirely, get in touch to let us know what you reckon.
