Music and Whirling at Leicester Zen Circle


On Thursday's monthly Great Heart Circle we were lucky to have some live meditation music played by Mike Petterson and his friend Richard. They used wooden flute, guitar, tabla and bells. To link into this, we had a short workshop on 'Whirling', the dance of the Mevlevi dervishes from Turkey, exploring how this relates to Zen meditation. We learned a simplified form of the movement together, then tried it out during the live music.

It was a good evening- the music was great, I hope we have it again!

Rumi Circle in Stockport

Image
This evening at the Edgeley Zen Group, we celebrated the anniversary of the great Sufi poet Rumi. We explored a little practice of turning around the heart, and then in our regular Council Circle, Les played extraordinary sounds on a crystal bowl while one by one we each stood up and turned for a few minutes in the centre of the circle. We dedicated the evening to the soul of Mevlevi Postneshin Shaikh Jelaluddin Loras, pictured above, son of our late Shaikh Suleyman Hayati Dede, who passed from this world last Monday. Ashk olsun - May it become Love.

Leicester Zen Peacemaker activities get going!

We've started to hold regular trainings in Zen and Buddhist meditation in Leicester now, inviting people to Zang and Laura's bungalow in Glenfield for individual or group practice. Monday nights will be a weekly Great Heart Circle similar to Manchester's last year. Starting at 7.30 each week, people are invited to share in relaxation, Zen meditation, simple movement exercises and a weekly mini-feast to end! The first weekly meeting was tonight (Monday 6th April) and began in a good spirit with friendly, warm-hearted people coming along for the first time. I hope this will be the beginning of a creative and supportive Zen community here in Leicester, to link with the ones growing in Manchester and Leeds.

Auschwitz Birkenau Bearing Witness Retreat, 1st-5th Nov

Image
Last week the international Zen Peacemakers held a Bearing Witness retreat in the former Nazi camp of Auschwitz Birkenau. It is the 15th year of holding the retreat, and this year we came together as 95 people from all over the world- UK, Israel, USA, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Canada, Holland, France, and including a group of 20 young adults aged 16-23 from many countries, with everyone coming from many different religious and cultural backgrounds. On Monday we visited Auschwitz I, the first camp established in the Polish town of Oswiecim by the Nazis. It's now a museum with exhibits tracing the history of the concentration camp, with a film showing footage of the prisoners just after release. The next four days were spent in Birkenau, the death camp built just outside Oswiecim to gas hundreds of thousands of victims - mostly Jews - and work many more hundreds of thousands to death in conditions of indescribable deprivation. Birkenau is a ...
