Beaches Sangha Meeting

Beaches Sangha is a welcoming Secular Buddhist group, inspired by the traditional concept of ‘sangha’ as a spiritual community. We focus on practical insights from the Buddha’s teachings to help navigate life’s challenges. Our meetings explore Buddhist teachings in a modern, accessible way, led by our experienced teacher Lenorë Lambert, an Organisational Psychologist with over 20 years of practice and author of ‘The Buddha for Modern Minds’.

We continue our progress through the book Basic Teachings of the Buddha by Glenn Wallis. This week we’ll be covering SUTTA 15 “Present-Moment Awareness with Breathing” (Part 2) and Glenn Wallis’ accompanying guide, How to Meditate.

Together we’ll explore:

• Mindfulness of breathing – cultivating awareness of body, feelings and mind.
• Impermanence and insight – observing our changing experiences and habitual reactions.
• The seven factors of awakening – developing mindfulness, understanding and equanimity.
• Meditation in everyday life – moving beyond relaxation towards greater clarity and freedom from reactivity.

Join us for meditation, study and open discussion. Newcomers are always welcome, whether you’re experienced or simply curious about Buddhist practice.
