No Mud, No Lotus - Day of Mindfulness

We are delighted to be able to welcome Vari McLuskie to Bristol to lead a Day of Mindfulness at Bedminster Meeting House.  Vari was ordained into the Order of Interbeing by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1995  and as a lay Dharma teacher in 2012.  She has led many DoMs and retreats in the Plum Village tradition.  This day promises to be peaceful, supportive and uplifting, and offers an opportunity to connect with others.

Bedminster Meeting House is a calm, light and tranquil space in south Bristol with a beautiful large garden, ideal for walking meditation.

To secure a place please RSVP - note that the maximum capacity at Bedminster Meeting House is 40, so early reservation is recommended.

Donations/Dana: to cover our costs we ask for a donation in the spirit of generosity.  This could be:

• £20.00 standard donation
• £25.00 supporter donation
• £10.00 supported donation
• If it is not possible for you to donate any of these amounts, please donate what you can.

We ask that you make your donation directly to Bristol White Clouds Sangha bank account: sort code 089299, account 65732371 and tick the relevant box in the RSVP form.  Please reference your donation SEPT 24 followed by your initials - this is quite important as it helps our Treasurer with the admin.
