Celebrate South King: Mindfulness, Kindness, Meditation
Thursday 15 June 6:30 - 7:45pm
As part of Celebrate South King, Bodhi is hosting a taster session introducing the practices of mindfulness, kindness and meditation. We are so indebted to locals and regular visitors of South King who have nourished and sustained our business through all the years - tough times as well as times of joy and plenty.
If you've been thinking you'd like to include meditation, need to enrich your life with more mindfulness, or could do with experiencing more kindness in your life, come along to get a sense of the practices and benefits...
Go here to reserve a spot!

Awakind is a Social Enterprise that donates 100% of all profits to funding life changing projects helping less fortunate children. Providing more than a roof over their heads, these projects give kids a place to play, grow, sleep and dream.
Check out these kids bamboo pyjamas legging set
- sleepwear reimagined and modernised for the modern child.
Pyjamas that keep your child warm all night long in the cooler months. Complete with thumbholes and foot-holes, preventing the top and pants from riding up in the middle of the night. The bamboo stretch has natural thermo-regulating properties, making it perfect for hot sleepers by preventing overheating at night, while the soft, lightweight fabric feels just like an extra layer of skin, without the irritation that other fabrics often create.

Opening up the river flow, traces of moon appear;
The dust and dirt of the world sink into the cold.
Dreams return to the song sung by fishermen;
Twisting and turning, settling the Buddha-mind is hard!
Chan Master Zukui

Chan Master Zukai is one of three eminent female Zen masters whose poems and commentary are brought to us across the centuries in 'Zen Echoes', a beautifully rendered translation by Beata Grant.
