Southern Highlands Sangha is a well-established Insight (Vipassana) Meditation group, encouraging and giving space for each of us to apply the Buddhist dharma teachings in our own lives. The group explores Buddha’s teachings, but people don’t need to identify as a Buddhist. However, we do try to foster Wise Thoughts and Actions on an ethical path, of looking after our planet and people.
 
We are currently a stable group, meeting weekly on a Tuesday morning, except on public holidays or school holidays. We look forward to new people joining, who are wanting to explore how the dharma (historical Buddhist teachings) and meditation can enhance their lives.
 
Our usual format -Tuesday:
9.30am- Cuppa and chat
10.00am- Meditation
10.40am- Insight Dharma Recording/Talk and discussion
11.30am-Closing minute meditation.
 
Dana: Gold coin donation for participant’s cuppa and SIM insurance.

First meeting of each month will begin with a short, guided meditation, then silent meditation. Other meetings of the month will be silent meditation.
There are chairs or cushions for sitting. During the meditation, it’s fine to move if you are uncomfortable, and there is a variety of experience in the group.

The Dharma recording/talk and introduction of the discussion is facilitated by Rosalind or Tina. Other group members assist with the meditation, with collecting Dana, or organising tea/coffee etc.
 
At the beginning of each year there is a Sangha meeting, where we discuss any changes needed for the group and plan the dharma themes for the year.
