UNDERSTANDING MIND and EMOTIONS

Last Saturday, the 3rd October 09, we spent a lovely day at the Friends' meeting house in Ealing with John, our principal,

and Silvia, his wife to meditate, practise Yoga and discuss about 'mind and emotions'.

We were a small, but big enough group - 12 altogether - .

We started the day with a short group meditation, followed by a gentle Yoga session and after a refreshing cup of tea

John introduced the theme of the day, which was trying to understand mind and emotions in every possible way, i.e. positive and negative.

After a delicious vegetarian lunch we all joined in a meditative walk in the huge beautiful garden of the friends' house

and concluded the day with another talk and discussion.

As we were all agreed about the positive outcome, we will have another day retreat with a different topic in February next year.
