Chester Quaker Meeting House Closed to Public

By prashrabdhi on Fri, 6 Nov, 2020 - 16:16

Sadly, the Chester Quaker Meeting House has closed its doors to the public.  We have had to remove our equipment.  We send thanks and well wishing to the staff who have been so kind and helpful over the last 6 years.  They have been made redundant.

Manny is storing our equipment until we find a new physical meeting place.  In the meantime, we are meeting on Zoom every Wednesday evening.  All welcome.

By Windhorse Publi... on Mon, 28 Sep, 2020 - 16:30

We’re delighted to introduce you to the newly published Introducing Mindfulness: Buddhist Background and Practical Exercises by Bhikkhu Anālayo.
