SUMMARY:How to live a meaningful life: three week course
DESCRIPTION:Why is it so complicated to be human? What can we rely on? How 
 can we move towards living a life that feels more satisfying and meaningfu
 l? A three week course with Satya Robyn. \n\nFace to face in Malvern at th
 e temple: Mondays from 7pm – 8pm UK time (2pm EST) on 31st August\, 7th
  and 14th of September – BOOK HERE. Limited to 8.\n\n------------------
 --------------\n\n(This course will also run Online on Zoom: Mondays from 
 7pm – 8pm UK time (2pm UST) on 3rd\, 10th and 17th of August – Tickets
  for this course here).\n\nWho is this course designed for?\nThis course i
 s for anyone who is interested in living with more freedom and purpose. Yo
 u might be younger or older\, mostly satisfied with your current life or n
 ot\, working or not\, a veteran of 'doing work on yourself' or spiritual p
 ractice or coming to it all fresh. All are welcome - all you need to bring
  is your curiosity. The course makes use of concepts taken from Buddhism\,
  Internal Family Systems and other paradigms but we won't use much Buddhis
 t language and the course is suitable both for those who have an interest 
 in Buddhism and for those who don't.\n\nWhat will happen during the course
 ?\nEach of the three course sessions will include two stories from Satya\,
  two proposals and two offerings. There will also be a chance to ask quest
 ions and a chance to practice one of three different short meditations. Th
 e first session is called 'Why it's not easy to be human' and we will expl
 ore the reasons why we become disappointed with ourselves and others (and 
 what we can do about it). The second is 'Leaning in to what is reliable' a
 nd explores how we can connect to good resources (like nature) and the con
 cept of 'just as you are'. The third is 'How to live a meaningful life' an
 d looks at how we can apply what we've learnt to start moving in the right
  direction.\n\nHow much is this course?\nAt Bright Earth we want all our o
 fferings to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of their financial circ
 umstances\, and we also need money to support the temple and those who tea
 ch. We suggest a donation for the whole course of between £15 and £45 de
 pending on your current income level. If you are able to pay towards the t
 op end\, you'll be supporting those who can't pay this much. If you want t
 o pay less than £15 just email Satya for more information.\n\nI'm a littl
 e shy/anxious in groups - will this course be suitable for me?\nMost of th
 is group will be listening to stories and proposals\, and trying a short m
 editation. All of the things we do in this group will be optional and if y
 ou'd rather mostly be quiet and listen rather than ask any questions or sh
 are anything\, that's fine with us. If there is something that would make 
 it easier for you to attend\, or if you would need adjustments to make the
  course accessible\, just let Satya know.\n\nAre you hoping that people to
  attend your Buddhist events after taking this course?\nWe are always deli
 ghted to welcome people to our Buddhist practice sessions and other events
 \, and\, Buddhism (and Bright Earth Buddhism) only suits certain people. O
 ur hope with this course is that you will begin to find some questions and
  some answers of your own\, and go on to explore these in the places that 
 feel right to you - whatever those places are.\n\nWho will lead this cours
 e?\nSatya wil lead this course. She is a Buddhist minister with Bright Ear
 th\, and also works as a psychotherapist using Internal Family Systems\, a
 nd as a writer. She is a long-time asker-of-questions and continues to be 
 curious about how we can live well in this complicated world. Her site is 
 at www.satyarobyn.com.\n\nWhat if I'm interested in the course but can't m
 ake the current dates?\nLet Satya know! As this is such a short course\, i
 f you can only make two out of the three dates it would be better for you 
 to wait for a future course. We hope to re-run it regularly.
