Starting April 2025, we will be continuing our Study Group sessions (now in a weekly format), covering a wide range of topics including philosophy, spirituality, ecology, mythic engagement, and being human in a more-than-human world.

Each session includes a guided meditation and talk, with plenty of time for discussion and Q&A.

Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of experience level or spiritual orientation.

Sample of topics explored:

• Approaches to ‘nature’ and ‘ecology’ in non-Western cultural traditions.

• Animism and secular spirituality.

• Eco-daemonology/’nature spirit’ paradigms.

• Ethics and morality in the 21st century.

• Mythic engagement, including discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

• Critical analysis of prominent texts and concepts in Buddhist and other spiritual traditions.

• History of the Chöd tradition and its relevance to the evolution of Tibetan Buddhism.

• Basic ritual arts, including in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

• The intersection of storytelling and spirituality.

• Feeding Your Demons and psychological applications of Buddhist methodologies.
