It combines tranquility (samatha)\, insight ( vipassanā)\, mindfulness\, and loving-kindness (mettā) to cultivate a re laxed\, joyful\, and deeply aware mind. \nAt the heart of TWIM is the 6R Process—a simple and practical method for working with distractions\, le tting go of habitual reactions\, and returning to a state of ease and clar ity. Rather than suppressing thoughts or forcing concentration\, TWIM teac hes practitioners how to recognize and release craving and tension\, allow ing the mind to naturally settle into deeper states of peace and collected ness\, including the jhānas. \nThe six steps of the 6Rs are: \n\nRecogniz e when the mind has become distracted.\nRelease the distraction without judgment or resistance.\nRelax the subtle tension in both the body and mi nd.\nRe-smile to bring lightness\, kindness\, and balance back to the pra ctice.\nReturn to the meditation object\, usually the feeling of loving-k indness (mettā).\nRepeat the process whenever the mind wanders.\n\nThrou ghout the event\, participants will learn how loving-kindness naturally de velops into the Four Divine Abodes (Brahmavihāras)—loving-kindness\, co mpassion\, appreciative joy\, and equanimity. As these wholesome qualities deepen\, the practice also provides direct insight into Dependent Origina tion\, helping practitioners see the impersonal nature of thoughts\, feeli ngs\, and habitual reactions. Through this understanding\, craving gradual ly weakens\, leading to greater freedom\, peace\, and the gradual ending o f suffering. \nThis event is suitable for both beginners and experienced m editators. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen an exist ing practice\, TWIM offers a practical path for cultivating lasting inner peace and wisdom in everyday life. \n  \nAbout the Facilitator\nRoss Deig hton has been exploring meditation and the path of inner development for m ore than twenty years. During that time\, he practiced a variety of medita tion traditions and studied with different teachers\, always seeking a dee per understanding of the mind and the causes of suffering. \nIn 2022\, Ros s was introduced to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM). Through reg ular practice and guidance from experienced TWIM teachers\, including his first 10-day retreat\, he found an approach that brought greater ease\, cl arity\, and a deeper understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. The emphas is on loving-kindness\, relaxation\, and direct insight resonated deeply w ith him and continues to shape both his practice and daily life. \nRoss is passionate about sharing TWIM in a way that is welcoming\, practical\, an d grounded in the original teachings of the Buddha. He enjoys supporting o thers as they discover for themselves the possibility of greater peace\, w isdom\, and freedom through consistent practice. \nOutside of teaching med itation\, Ross enjoys playing music with friends\, dancing\, helping to ru n a small family business\, and exploring practices that cultivate awarene ss and wellbeing\, including enlightened communication\, Qigong\, and Nei Gong within the Taoist tradition. \n  \nAccessibility\nThe Wellspring Roo m is fully accessible. \nThe Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible. The Garden can also be accessed by wheelcha irs via a movable ramp via the Art Room Annex. Please let the organisers k now in advance of any access requirements.

Waves of helplessness and hopelessness. Lac k of sleep. Frustration with the people you’re trying to help. Spending hours doing grassroots work that can seem like it’s getting nowhere. \nT hese are just a few challenges that activists and changemakers face on a d aily basis. \nBut what if\, midweek every week\, you gave yourself time to : \n\nconnect with yourself and your mission\nspend a few moments walking barefoot on the ground\nhave a deep\, compassionate conversation with othe rs who are walking a similar path?\n\nThis is what the Midweek Mindful Mor nings are about. For five weeks in September (and possibly beyond!)\, I wa nt to create a space that supports you. Pausing every Wednesday for 90 min utes and taking time out to connect to what matters. \nLet’s see if this actually makes a difference\, shall we? \n  \nWhat to expect + practical ities\nWe meet in The Salisbury Centre Library on Wednesday mornings\, fro m 8:30 – 10:00. \nEach session will consist of some time connecting to y ourself\, to Nature in the garden\, and then sharing what’s on your hear t and mind with others. \nAll activities are optional. At any point\, you can choose to opt out and take yourself out of the space to be on your own . We’ll talk more about that in the room. \nThe first 10 minutes are for arrivals and settling in\, and the doors will close at 8:40 sharp. You wo n’t be able to join after this time. This may sound harsh (I know delays easily happen while commuting at this time of day!)\, but this is to prot ect a sense of groundedness and safety in the group once we start. You’r e welcome to arrive 10-15 minutes earlier to give yourself a moment to lan d / buffer time. \nBooking (at least the evening before) is recommended as places are limited to 12 participants. You may also drop in\, and if ther e’s a free spot\, you’ll be most welcome! \nPlease book via Eventbrite (link at the bottom of the page) or by emailing hello@martabrzosko.com \n   \nGroup agreements\nWe will mention these at the beginning of each sess ion. Three non-negotiable agreements I’d like us to follow are: \n\nConf identiality: What you hear here\, stays here\nHonour Yourself: Be proactiv e when it comes to communicating your needs\, boundaries\, and consent (or lack thereof)\nHonour Another: Practice positive regard for others\, list en to each other\, be mindful of assumptions\, respect other people’s ne eds and boundaries\n\nAt the beginning of each session\, we will take a mo ment to hear out any access needs that may be present. \n  \nAbout the fa cilitator\nMy name is Marta Brzosko\, and I’ve been facilitating connect ion events\, workshops\, and courses in Edinburgh and online since 2020.

This circle is offered through The Salisbury Centre’s communi ty programme. \nParticipation in a Symbolic Space Circle allows individual s to experience a way of exploring their intentions and connections with t he self and the world. \nA Symbolic Space Circle offers an opportunity to explore a relationship with a creative\, spiritual\, or everyday-life situ ation\, a goal\, or an intention\, using bodily awareness and movement in space. This may help activate forms of perception\, association\, and proc essing that are not easily available to conscious thinking alone. \nThe ci rcle begins with a grounding exercise. Then an individual or group intenti on is formulated. Sharing an individual intention with the circle is optio nal. \nEach session is adapted to the formulated intention(s). Guidance fo r a session consists of prompts or a series of simple\, non-suggestive que stions. Usually\, the goal is to externalise the intention and the situati on surrounding it\, and to explore a relationship with them through feelin g into bodily sensations\, becoming aware of any images and associations c oming to mind\, working with provided objects\, and/or moving through the space of the room. The process might be individual or involve a group dyna mic\, depending on the intention(s). \nOptional sharing is done throughout the session. \n  \nFacilitator\nEkaterina Shurkova\, PhD\, facilitates t his circle as a volunteer at The Salisbury Centre. She developed the Symbo lic Space approach\, drawing on her background in cognitive neuroscience a nd her interest in how people connect with the world: how we learn\, play\ , communicate\, solve problems\, and change our minds. \nIn this circle\, Ekaterina brings together creative problem solving\, relational ways of se eing\, and the role of symbols\, metaphors\, and spatial awareness in refl ective practice. \n  \nPractical Information\nThe circle is limited to 6 participants. Please make sure to book your place through Eventbrite. \nPl ease arrive on time. As the session begins with grounding\, the door will close a few minutes after the start time. Unfortunately\, late arrivals ca nnot be admitted once the session has begun. \n  \nDetails\nWhen: 9 July – 24 September\, fortnightly on Thursdays\, 15:00-17:00 \nHow to attend: please book your place via the Eventbrite link \nRoom: Studio \n  \nCont act Info\nWith any questions\, please email info@symbolicspace.site. \n  \nDonations\nDonate when booking your space via the Eventbrite link.

Together\, we nurture a collective awareness\, allowing movement to flow naturally and i ntuitively. \nDuring this 2 hours session we will have a playful\, creativ e and nourishing time. We explore somatic movement practice (BMC®)\, expl oring our relationship with gravity\, anatomy\, and the environment . Thro ugh these experiences\, we aim to cultivate ecological embodiment\, and a shared sense of community rooted in our connection to the natural world. O ur approach is centered on creating a safe\, welcoming\, and inclusive spa ce for all. \nA caring space where we listen deeply—both inward and outw ard experiencing our bodies and natural environments as continuous\, relat ional living systems (Ecological embodiment). It’s a joyful journey that honors the spontaneous flow of life and our interconnectedness within the web of ecology and community. Throughout this journey\, we apply movement approaches rooted in Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering® \, engaging with the body’s living systems and consciousness in an embodie d exploration. \nIn this term guests Daniela Polic (Ecologist\, PhD at Lin néuniversitetet ) and Dia Karim (Somatics and Healing Arts Practitioner) will join us. They will share their practice and co-facilitate the session s with Monica. \nThis term is very special\, created in collaboration with Dani and Dia\, unfolding as a shared journey\, a gentle process of discov ery and transformation. Together with Dani\, we will explore processes suc h as metamorphosis and phenology—observing the recurring rhythms of life in plants and animals—guiding us to attune to the natural world’s sub tle signals. With Dia\, we will delve into themes of emergence and belongi ng\, fostering a deeper connection to ourselves and the ecosystems we are part of. \nEach session stands on its own\, welcoming you to drop in whene ver it feels right\, yet we invite you to consider booking the full term t o immerse yourself fully in this interdisciplinary exploration of self and surroundings. To encourage this\, we offer a special gift: if you book fi ve sessions\, one will be on us. 🙂 \nJoin us on this journey of growth\ , awareness\, and interconnectedness! \nQuote from participant: ‘Really enjoyed the mixture of structured/ led movement and free flow.

It combines tranquility (samatha)\, insight ( vipassanā)\, mindfulness\, and loving-kindness (mettā) to cultivate a re laxed\, joyful\, and deeply aware mind. \nAt the heart of TWIM is the 6R Process—a simple and practical method for working with distractions\, le tting go of habitual reactions\, and returning to a state of ease and clar ity. Rather than suppressing thoughts or forcing concentration\, TWIM teac hes practitioners how to recognize and release craving and tension\, allow ing the mind to naturally settle into deeper states of peace and collected ness\, including the jhānas. \nThe six steps of the 6Rs are: \n\nRecogniz e when the mind has become distracted.\nRelease the distraction without judgment or resistance.\nRelax the subtle tension in both the body and mi nd.\nRe-smile to bring lightness\, kindness\, and balance back to the pra ctice.\nReturn to the meditation object\, usually the feeling of loving-k indness (mettā).\nRepeat the process whenever the mind wanders.\n\nThrou ghout the event\, participants will learn how loving-kindness naturally de velops into the Four Divine Abodes (Brahmavihāras)—loving-kindness\, co mpassion\, appreciative joy\, and equanimity. As these wholesome qualities deepen\, the practice also provides direct insight into Dependent Origina tion\, helping practitioners see the impersonal nature of thoughts\, feeli ngs\, and habitual reactions. Through this understanding\, craving gradual ly weakens\, leading to greater freedom\, peace\, and the gradual ending o f suffering. \nThis event is suitable for both beginners and experienced m editators. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen an exist ing practice\, TWIM offers a practical path for cultivating lasting inner peace and wisdom in everyday life. \n  \nAbout the Facilitator\nRoss Deig hton has been exploring meditation and the path of inner development for m ore than twenty years. During that time\, he practiced a variety of medita tion traditions and studied with different teachers\, always seeking a dee per understanding of the mind and the causes of suffering. \nIn 2022\, Ros s was introduced to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM). Through reg ular practice and guidance from experienced TWIM teachers\, including his first 10-day retreat\, he found an approach that brought greater ease\, cl arity\, and a deeper understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. The emphas is on loving-kindness\, relaxation\, and direct insight resonated deeply w ith him and continues to shape both his practice and daily life. \nRoss is passionate about sharing TWIM in a way that is welcoming\, practical\, an d grounded in the original teachings of the Buddha. He enjoys supporting o thers as they discover for themselves the possibility of greater peace\, w isdom\, and freedom through consistent practice. \nOutside of teaching med itation\, Ross enjoys playing music with friends\, dancing\, helping to ru n a small family business\, and exploring practices that cultivate awarene ss and wellbeing\, including enlightened communication\, Qigong\, and Nei Gong within the Taoist tradition. \n  \nAccessibility\nThe Wellspring Roo m is fully accessible. \nThe Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible.
