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\nOnline on Zoom: Mondays from 
 7pm – 8pm UK time (2pm UST) on 3rd\, 10th and 17th of August – Tickets
  for this course here.\n\n--------------------------------\n\n(This course
  is also running face to face in Malvern at the temple: Mondays from 7pm 
 – 8pm UK time (2pm EST) on 31st August\, 7th and 14th of September – B
 OOK HERE. Limited to 8.)\n\nWho is this course designed for?\nThis course 
 is for anyone who is interested in living with more freedom and purpose. Y
 ou might be younger or older\, mostly satisfied with your current life or 
 not\, working or not\, a veteran of 'doing work on yourself' or spiritual 
 practice or coming to it all fresh. All are welcome - all you need to brin
 g is your curiosity. The course makes use of concepts taken from Buddhism\
 , Internal Family Systems and other paradigms but we won't use much Buddhi
 st 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 cours
 e?\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 ques
 tions and a chance to practice one of three different short meditations. T
 he first session is called 'Why it's not easy to be human' and we will exp
 lore 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' 
 and explores how we can connect to good resources (like nature) and the co
 ncept of 'just as you are'. The third is 'How to live a meaningful life' a
 nd looks at how we can apply what we've learnt to start moving in the righ
 t direction.\n\nHow much is this course?\nAt Bright Earth we want all our 
 offerings to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of their financial cir
 cumstances\, and we also need money to support the temple and those who te
 ach. We suggest a donation for the whole course of between £15 and £45 d
 epending on your current income level. If you are able to pay towards the 
 top end\, you'll be supporting those who can't pay this much. If you want 
 to pay less than £15 just email Satya for more information.\n\nI'm a litt
 le shy/anxious in groups - will this course be suitable for me?\nMost of t
 his group will be listening to stories and proposals\, and trying a short 
 meditation. All of the things we do in this group will be optional and if 
 you'd rather mostly be quiet and listen rather than ask any questions or s
 hare 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 th
 e course accessible\, just let Satya know.\n\nAre you hoping that people t
 o attend your Buddhist events after taking this course?\nWe are always del
 ighted to welcome people to our Buddhist practice sessions and other event
 s\, and\, Buddhism (and Bright Earth Buddhism) only suits certain people. 
 Our hope with this course is that you will begin to find some questions an
 d 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 cour
 se?\nSatya wil lead this course. She is a Buddhist minister with Bright Ea
 rth\, and also works as a psychotherapist using Internal Family Systems\, 
 and 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 
 make the current dates?\nLet Satya know! As this is such a short course\, 
 if 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.
