Working as Safeguarding Consultant for the Order

From Order Connection on Wed, 19 Jun, 2024 - 15:11

This opportunity to support the Order in the area of safeguarding is still open. 

It’s a great opportunity to contribute to ways of working in the area of safeguarding - enhancing the Order’s ability to respond to infrequent but serious ethical breaches made by Order members, in a timely, caring and responsible manner.

Subhadassi writes: “I have found working in my allied ethics role to be a really helpful way for me to understand the Order and practice of Sangha more deeply. In addition to...

Somatic Going For Refuge: Embodying True Safety, Dignity and Belonging As a Path of Collective Awakening

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 19 Jun, 2024 - 00:00
This talk was given at the June 2024 Women's Area Order Weekend. In it, Singhashri reminds us of Bhante's emphasis on the development of the true individual, positive group and spiritual community. She then links an embodied and relational approach to our individual and collective going for refuge, encouraging us to explore how a direct experience of safety, dignity and belonging in the sangha might support collective awakening. She ends by sharing specific ways we may practice "somatic going for refuge" which she describes as not a new level of going for refuge, but rather a way of practicing that we can "needle through" our lives from provisional to cosmic going forth.

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 19 Jun, 2024 - 00:00
The seven-point mind training makes our day-to-day life an arena to strengthen our spiritual muscle. But how can we make changes happen? Vimaladasa will show how a teaching called the ‘five forces’ can be used to bring about actual and immediate changes in our life. How would we act in every ordinary moment if we were Enlightened? How can we act to be more Enlightened? In this series we will be exploring a powerful, pithy teaching that tells us how to do just that.
