The Learning Lounge

10/03/2024

The Learning Lounge hasn't had a physical location since 2022. But much of what the Learning Lounge was doing is happening on a bigger and better scale here at Cherish. For the last 6 months we have been working alongside the Cherish team to offer a sanctuary of sanity in the midst of turbulent times.
Check out the new website and come on in and see what it's all about.

Cherish is a beautiful home right in the heart of Christchurch. It is an all inclusive, interspiritual space with friendly caring loving people.

A few people have inquired about the Wednesday evening meditations.
We will start again tomorrow from 6pm.
Usually we have two sits together, one shorter and guided to settle and arrive, and one longer unguided sit. In between is space for questions and/or rambles. Sometimes we explore a particular text or theme, depending on what is alive in the group.
We finish at 7:30, but you're welcome to stick around for some food and chats afterwards.

What we explore is responsive to the questions and angles of inquiry of whoever shows up. We've been largely working with awareness of breathing and following the stages of anapanasati, but lately have been exploring Bodhicitta, Tonglen, Chenrezi, and other practices. What we explore in the new year is still an open question, depending on who is committing to come and what questions they bring.

New location of Admatha.
If you'd like to come and join, just send me a message and I'll send you the address.
