SUMMARY:Mindfulness\, heartfulness and compassion: a dialogue with faith leaders
DESCRIPTION:A one-day symposium in Brighton exploring mindfulness\, heartfulness and compassion-based practices with faith leaders. \n\n\n\nWhat is the symposium about?\n\n\n\nDuring the day\, representatives from many of the major faiths will share mindfulness\, heartfulness and compassion practices from their traditions. We will then engage in a dialogue about what unites us and what we can learn from one another.  See the programme below.  \n\n\n\nContemporary mindfulness\, heartfulness and compassion-based practices derive predominantly from established spiritual pathways or religious traditions. However\, in the secularised workplaces in which they are often delivered\, the religion has been necessarily stripped away from the practices.  \n\n\n\nWhile this makes them more accessible to people who are not part of any religion\, the danger is that by taking them out of their contexts and communities these practices may become technical\, individualised and self-serving\, losing their deeper meaning and their more profound capacity for change and connection.   \n\n\n\nWe need to be careful that our secularised inclusiveness does not exclude the diversity offered by religious and spiritual traditions and the people affiliated to them\, on whose shoulders these contemporary practices rest. Increasingly\, we recognise that passing off something that belongs to the wisdom of often non-Western\, non-white cultures as a new\, scientific discovery can be unacceptable cultural appropriation.  \n\n\n\nBy restricting conversations about these depth foundations\, we miss an opportunity to find rich connections and understandings across many different faiths that have meditation and the cultivation of qualities such as presence\, kindness and compassion at the heart of what they do. At a time in the world where religion can be the cause of division and tribalism\, this opportunity to connect and build understanding in this domain seems more important than ever. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\n\n\nAnyone interested in the roots of mindfulness. Everyone is welcome\, from any faith or none. \n\n\n\nThe format of the day\n\n\n\n9.00 Registration \n\n\n\n9.30 Introduction and framing of the day: Robert Marx\, Co-Lead of Sussex Mindfulness Centre  \n\n\n\nPractices: The practices follow a simple format including a five minute introduction followed by 15 minutes of practice. \n\n\n\n9.45 Christian Catholic: Liz Lord \n\n\n\n10.05 Tibetan Buddhist: Paul Johanson \n\n\n\n10.25 Sufi: Binah Taylor \n\n\n\n10.45 Tea \n\n\n\n11.15 Heartfulness/Raja yoga: Rosalind Pearmain \n\n\n\n11.35 Pagan: Lyn Baylis \n\n\n\n12.05 Jewish/Ha Makom: Miri Cohen \n\n\n\n12.25 Quaker: Jason Evans \n\n\n\n12.45 Responses Robert Marx \n\n\n\n1.00 Lunch : Bring your own and we’ll sit together \n\n\n\n\n2.00 Panel/Round table: A panel discussion two questions: What was striking from other people’s talks and practices?

Most of their members and friends belong to faith groups but many don’t. \n\n\n\nThe Sussex Mindfulness Centre aims to improve the wellbeing and mental health of all people who can benefit from mindfulness. We do this by running mindfulness and compassion programmes\, training teachers\, and conducting research. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe facilitators\n\n\n\nRev Anthea Ballam\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev Anthea Ballam is an interfaith minister\, writer and celebrant. She has served as Chaplain to the Mayor of Brighton and Hove on two occasions and is currently the Chair of The Interfaith Contact Group of Brighton and Hove. Anthea is the author of two books of prayer: “Moving Prayers and Quiet Meditations” and “Words for Funerals”; also a history book “Mayflower: The Voyage the Changed the World.” \n\n\n\nBefore becoming an interfaith minister\, Anthea was a journalist and ran her own marketing company.

Chanteloube was founded with the inspiration and guidance of three great masters of Tibetan Buddhism: Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche; Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche; and Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche. Paul considers Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche to be his main teacher and has been practising under his guidance since I first met him in 1992. \n\n\n\nPaul still feels a strong connection to his Christian roots and to his early Zen training.
