Sitting Around
Wednesday November 22, 2006
Time for a quick plug here at thinkBuddha. Whilst I was down at Gaia House in the early autumn at a weekend for organisers of local meditation groups, we talked about setting up a website that could act as a meeting place for practitioners who are involved in the meditative traditions associated with the retreat centre. The idea was to have a place where meditators and members of sitting groups affiliated to Gaia House across the country (or, indeed, further afield), could make contact.
So after my return to Birmingham, I set up SittingAround.org. The site has been awaiting a few tweaks, but is now properly up and running, and so if you sit with a Gaia House group, or have been to Gaia House and want to keep in touch with other practitioners, then pay a visit to the site, sign yourself up with an account, and get involved. There’s already a forum, an events calendar, and the opportunity to submit news to the site to tell the world about local events, retreats and activities. And if things pick up speed over there, then there may be a few more bells and whistles as well.
Great idea, Will, and looking beautiful after no doubt a huge amount of work on your part! I’ve registered and posted and will participate.
