We hope you
have enjoyed a lovely summer – especially the gloriously sunny weather.
All of us at Aro Ling Cardiff are feeling refreshed after summer
retreats and holidays and looking forward to welcoming you to the Autumn
programme.
Aro Ling will
be open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during the day, depending
on the availability of a volunteer to staff the centre – look for the
‘open’ sign in the window. Please call in to join in the daytime activities, to practise, to browse the library, or to chat with Nor’dzin.
Autumn Programme:
Courses:
Vajra Romance – the intrinsically enlightened nature of romance
Thursdays, 5 week course, 19:00 – 20:30, 25th September – 23rd October, £25
Vajra Romance
reveals romantic love as the nearest analogy for enlightenment we can
find in everyday life: emptiness and enjoyment; the practice of taking
one’s lover as a divine teacher; and the practical possibility of
continuing to fall in love, in perpetuity. This teaching also
illuminates the causes of the problems we often encounter within
relationships: lack of fulfilment, failing to meet our partner’s
emotional needs; clinging, cruelty, and indifference.
The Body of Visions – the rich and dramatic symbolism of inner Tantra
Thursdays, 5 week course, 19:00 – 20:30, 6th November – 4th December, £25
Explore
tantric imagery, and practices of vision, voice, mudra, and music. The
peaceful, joyous, and wrathful meditation beings cover every human body
type – and in so doing, release us from the bondage of societal sanction
with regard to how we appear.
Tibetan Yoga – through these movements Mind finds itself in its own free space.
Saturdays, 3 week course, 10 – 12, October 11 – 24, £15
Tibetan
yoga (sKu-mNyé) is a system of physical movements which give rise to
profound sensations of intimacy with the elements, freeing us from the
domination of boredom; fear; neurotic obsession; paranoia; or
depression.
Weaving the elements – release neurosis into the skies of the elements
Saturdays, 4 week course, 10 – 12, November 08 – 29, £20
Weave the elements earth, water, fire, air and space into thread cross designs and amulets to release oneself or others from neurotic and health problems.
