Free yourself from group-think and become your own person!
Being a Buddhist does not mean being part of a religious group, following its ideas and practices slavishly. It means learning how to see the world as it is, through your own eyes, and acting from that vision.
This is a hard thing to do, as our dependence on being part of a group is extremely strong. True individuals are therefore rare.
On this six-week course we’ll explore what it means to emancipate oneself from the need to belong to a group and become a true individual. A spiritual community is not just another group, but a free association of individuals.
Together, we’ll learn what it might mean to be fully yourself, in solidarity with others.
Dana Economy. All our classes offering Buddhist teaching are by donation, because we believe that the Buddha's teachings should be freely given. We recommend a donation of £85 / £60 for this course, but we welcome you however much you can afford to give.
