DTSTART:20260920T140000Z DTEND:20260920T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260911T181907Z UID:10034065-1789916400-1789923600@www.salisburycentre.org CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:When:\nEvery 3rd Sunday of the month\n15:00-17:00\n(if desired 15 minute break 16:00-16:15) \nAbout the Event:\nLet’s talk about thing s we don’t often talk about and share what we think. \nCertainly some of the things each of us practices to develop ourselves\, to find God\, to f ind the meaning of life or to become a better human being\, I rarely talk about and I rarely hear other people talk about.\nHowever I think (hope) t hat we can learn from each other by sharing what is going on inside oursel ves.\nDiscussion groups like this can get bogged down by (dis)agreements o r by people exclusively wanting to talk about what they believe in (as if they are trying to convince others that they should believe the same).\nI would like us to be disciplined in our talking AND listening. A few guidel ines might help to create a respectful\, open and relaxed space. \nSuggest ed guidelines and practicalities:\nAt the start of each meeting the guidel ines are to be considered\, modified (if desired) and adopted for the meet ing.\nConfidentiality: Whatever is talked about in the meeting is totally confidential and will not be discussed outside the meeting (also not in th e break)\, not even with people who were present at the time. Confidential ity gives me the freedom to talk about things that I may not want to talk about outside this kind of meetings.\nOnly one person speaks at a time: Op tional: the person who is speaking can invite brief comments or answer sho rt questions.\nSilence between speakers (1-5 minutes). Optional: silence d uring the 15 minute break.\nAgree a maximum time that one person can speak (5 minutes?)\nIf a speaker goes on too long or goes off-topic\, anyone ca n gently ring the bell. (Only ring the bell gently\; it is up to the speak er to change/stop/come to the point\; this should not be used to discourag e people from speaking what is on their mind\, even if you disagree or do not understand).\nWe share our OWN experiences/opinions/ideas. We do not g ive each other advice or criticise each other. I suggest using the word “I” instead of “you” or “we”\, in this context.\nWe do not ‘ jump in’ to comment on what someone else has just said. We do not presen t other people’s teachings/wisdoms except if it is needed to give contex t to the subject and our own experience. \nSubjects: at the end of each me eting the participants set the subject for the next meeting. \nExample Sub jects of exploration\n“Meditation” can cover a whole range of techniqu es and traditions (separate subjects?): \n◦ Why meditate?\n◦ What is y our experience when you meditate?\n◦ How do you meditate?\n◦ Is Mindfu lness different from meditation? \nWhat have you tried that did not work o r did not work the way you expected? \n◦ techniques\, rituals\, therapie s\, religious practices\nEmotions\n◦ Are emotions useful or a hindrance in personal or spiritual development?\nGod\n◦ Words: e.g. Source\, Godde ss\, (named) Deity \, Life Force\, Creator\, etc.\n◦ Is it useful to use the word [God] and what do you mean by it?\n◦ Do you have an image of [ God]\, a bit like a personal image or an image that a certain religion sug gests\; or do you use the word [God] for the underlying creative/life forc e of the universe\; or something else? \nIs it useful to ask: “Who am I? ” \n◦ Variations: “Who am I?”\, “What am I?”\, “Where is the ‘me’\; inside\, outside\, both?” \nEgo \n◦ Is it a problem or a f eature?\n◦ How do you experience it? \nFree Will \n◦ What is it?\n◦ Does free will exist? \nGratitude \n◦ Life is a mystery to be lived\, no t a problem to be solved.\n◦ Whether you believe in a divine plan or in the big bang and random evolution\, the fact that we are here as sentient beings\, talking to each other is a miracle. \nLife after/before death \n ◦ Heaven & Hell\n◦ Reincarnation \nWhat is the Salisbury Centre about? \nRoom:\nWellspring Room \nAccessibility:\nWellspring Room is fully acces sible.

If a particular gender is over-repre sented in the run-up to the event\, we do our best to ensure that under-re presented gender(s) also sign up. \nWhile we aim to achieve an even balanc e of genders (and ages)\, this is not always possible. However\, what is g uaranteed are skills that you can apply to any connection. Simply come wit h an open mind and ready to connect. \nThe Facilitator 💁‍♂️ \nLau rie King (he/him) is a queer British-Kiwi based in Berlin.
