Easter Picnic

April 5, 2013
Happy Easter all!

This year we had our Easter picnic at Tambourine Mountain. It was a beautiful cool day. The rain stayed away thankfully. After some trial and error we settled on a picnic area in the national park at the north end of the mountain. Noodles, salad spiced chicken for lunch with cheesecake and fruit salad for desert. After lunch we went sight seeing. Here's a photo from a look out:
 

Many of us went on a walking trail into the sub-tropical rain forest. For me the rain forest gave off an energy and aliveness more than I felt in other types of vegetation or perhaps it was just that moment. I didn't complete trail but photos were taken. Here's one:



We pre-empted Easter a bit by choosing holy Saturday but it left Sunday for worship and family. Good day was had by all. :)

We're Back

January 18, 2013
We're back for a new year. We met on Wednesday for the first time this year. There were five of us there. There were many stories from the holidays and joy that two of our number are engaged. Also there was the sadness of death of an extended family member of another. But in the centre was our period of silence with each other. I think it is fair to say that we were glad to be meditating with each other again. Meditation is different when meditating in a group. I think we have now learned fro...

Good Food, Good Friendship and Good Conversation

November 13, 2012
Despite the rain we ventured out to Colmslie Beach Reserve for our picnic. The picnic was to celebrate our year together as Young Christian Meditators and to celebrate Christmas with one-another before many of us go on holidays. The rain created a peaceful atmosphere and made finding a BBQ easy. Sheltered away from the rain we meditated before and after lunch. At the lunch there was plenty of good food, good friendship and good conversation.

Our location near the river gave us a particularly d...

Christian Meditation Mob

October 11, 2012
The Christian meditation mob went ahead with Andrea, Ananda, and I (Adam) attending. I think we felt all a little nervous at first. For me, when I started meditating, that nervousness fell away.

In the meditation I felt as though we were a still centre in the hub of a spinning wheel. We were the still centre in the busy activity of the city.

I didn't get a photo of us meditating (because we were too busy meditating) but here is an image from our location.
