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.
