SUMMARY:The Mandala of Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Finding Wholeness through Presence, Poetry and Imagery Based Practice\nWith Fay Adams\nDates: 21-22 February 2026\nPrice: Weekend 1 = £185.00\nTimes: 10.00am to 17.00pm on Saturday and Sunday.\nBooking: To book this course please click Book Here\n(Suitable for those who have some mindfulness experience – at least an 8 week course or equivalent)\nMany of us imagine ourselves on a path leading towards a distant point in the future where we finally ‘arrive’ and everything is sorted.  What changes if you swop this image for a circular mandala? Rather than striving to move away from the present moment and the undesired aspects of our experience, we turn inward toward the centre, towards deeper presence and our innate potential.\nA mandala can be understood as a symbol of our inherent wholeness. At its centre lies the still point at the heart of a turning wheel — a place of balance from which our human potential can unfold. Surrounding this centre is a compassionate field where all aspects of who and what we are can belong.\nOf course, much of the time we find ourselves on the stormy outer rim of our inner mandala. Here, many different influences pull us in opposing directions. We may feel consumed by our thoughts, at the mercy of our emotions, and disconnected from our bodies. This turbulence can leave us mentally constricted and distanced from ourselves and others.\nOver this weekend we will work experientially with mindfulness practice, compassionate imagery, inspiring poetry and reflective journalling to find for ourselves the way into the centre of our mandala. Then from this place of steadiness and spaciousness, we may hold the complexities on the rim with greater kindness and understanding.\nHere’s what to expect:\n\nA reflective, friendly, kind, down to earth atmosphere in the Zoom room\nGuided mindfulness and compassion practice\nPeriods of friendly silence\nCarefully chosen poems\nExploration of the mandala symbol\nImagination based exercises\nReflection on the compassionate qualities of stability, wisdom, kindness, and courage\nTime for journalling and small-group sharing\nAccess to audio practices from the weekend to support you in life going forward\n\n
