DharmaCakra, the Wheel of Dharma
Dharmacakra is a practice full of deep symbolism, metaphor, poetry, and meaning. It helps us establish long-term sustainability in our meditation practice and deeply nourishes our innate need for connection to deeper self and community. We try to gather about once a week to do this practice, and it really helps us all feel inspired in our daily lives and meditation.
The flow will be somewhat shaped like this, although we aren't militant about it. We welcome all people to this practice, because it's beautiful to us.
Disclaimer: Some people find it a little culty (! 🫠😂) as it’s a somewhat unusual cult-ure to be singing out your heart, dancing and then sitting in silence here on this little island. Just to be clear: you don’t have to sign up to anything, pay anything, and we’re perfectly happy for you to do whatever you like with your life.

During summer and good weather we meet and sing outside at a willow circle in chorlton WATER park here (https://maps.app.goo.gl/uWzF2jcpiskFm3yo8?g_st=ipc)
The ancestors of this land connected with the divine in nature as well as temples, as did the ancient mystics of all Lands. Good to mix it up a bit.
Shanti.
