Nomad Spirituality

Okay everyone, I think we're going to go into a time of meditation now, led by Mark.

So if you want to find a seat, make yourselves comfortable.

Hand you over to Mark.

So this is a bit of an experiment, so try and make the most of it even where it falls short.

But I thought we might try to do just a five-minute meditation that I hope might give you a felt sense of this skeptic idea about living on the edge of the circle.

Do you remember the idea that inside the circle is what you think you know?

Outside the circle is what's less known, unknown, and the art of living is to live on the edge of the circle.

And so I thought what we might try and do is use the fact that we're gathering

where there's lots of people we don't know.

Maybe some people you do know who you've come with, but a lot of people you don't know,

and see whether we can incorporate that into a sort of meditation that takes us to this balance

between what we think we do know and what we don't know.

So it's just going to be five minutes or so, and maybe like two or three steps.

So trust me.

And we'll see what happens.

See what happens.

See what happens. So if you do meditate, then you just sit comfortably,

you know, a bit more of an upright position,

a bit better, feet on the ground probably,

and shut your eyes or maybe just look down a bit.

Certainly look down actually, that's part of the meditation.
