and ‘the chair’

 

On Sunday, 8th December, we had a heart-warming day, celebrating the community, the sangha, at WLBC. Topped and tailed with a meditation and ritual, we heard (recordings below) from our former chair, Bodhilila, as she reflected on her time in the role. She then led a ritual hand-over of the role to our new chair, Amalavajra, who spoke about his vision for the WLBC Sangha. After lunch, Amlanadhi introduced our ‘Open Day Fridays’, an opportunity for people to just drop in on Friday to practice and work together (starting in January 2025). George and Kadi also offered their experience and inspiration for volunteering at the centre.

Sadhu all round!
