Leicester Great Heart Circle, Thurs 6th Jan
Our first UK Zen Peacemakers activities of 2011 began with the monthly 'Great Heart Circle' for meditation training in Leicester. We had guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation, studied a poem by the Persian poet Rumi (to link with our Rumi celebration in the North last month!), and had a period of silent Zen meditation. Then we ended with a small feast again, made from what everyone had brought with them- fruit, pastries, bread, cake, soup! The next Leicester circle will be on Thursday 3rd Feb, most likely with the theme of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, to link with his annual day the previous week.
