Chyan Apple Tree Sangha
We meet monthly on a Sunday morning in Chyan Apple Barn.
Suggested donation £5
We generally begin with a period of sitting meditation, sometimes
silent and sometimes guided. If you use a meditation cushion or stool,
please bring this with you. You may also want to bring a yoga mat,
shawl or blanket.
Sitting practice is followed by a period of silent walking meditation
or movement practice. This is either inside or outside depending on the
weather.
Another shorter period of silent sitting follows. We will then share a
reading or an audio recording of dharma teaching or explore an exercise
ourselves, and read the five mindfulness trainings aloud, together.
We end with a period of ‘Dharma sharing’ where we share from the heart, and practise deep listening.
Sangha is rooted in the teachings of the Buddha and we welcome people
from any, or no, faith background. Whatever our beliefs we come
together in the spirit of compassion and a desire to live fully and
completely in every moment of our lives.
Chyan Apple Tree Sangha has grown from 4 main roots:
1. Plum Village www.plumvillage.org
2. Gaia House www.gaiahouse.co.uk
3. Tarchin Hearn www.greendharmatreasury.org
4.The Crystal Group www.crystalgroup.co.uk
We would love you to join us in our meditation practice.
Surya Yoga Festival
Now in its fitteenth year, Surya Yoga Camp is about trying new forms of yoga and movement and finding harmony, within yourself and with the world around you. It’s a small festival which takes place once a year, in the Cornish countryside and welcomes families and single visitors alike.
Surya is a great place to expand your yoga horizons; whether you are a lifelong yogi or a newcomer; from early meditation practice to kirtan evenings – diversity, openness and exploration are able to flourish in our non-judgemental space.
All of our teachers are here because they love what they do. They have been specially selected for their enthusiasm, their skill and their dedication to yoga or chosen discipline. They are all qualified and experienced. Not only that, but they all come and work on an exchange basis, which is what helps to keep the cost of the festival low. Without their generosity of spirit, Surya would be an entirely different event and we thank them for being prepared to offer their services and for bringing their energy to hold the space.
