Explore the power of mindfulness and meditation together with other interested people, here in Lund. This in person event offers you the opportunity to practise mindfulness in a few different ways. The gathering will be guided by Olle (one of Wake Up Lund’s more experienced meditators), they will aid you in exploring what you are experiencing in the present moment, with a gentle and compassionate attitude. The event is free and can be attended by anyone aged 18-35.
This event is called a Sangha (meaning "community"), where we will practise mindfulness through:
- Check in / Weather rapport - A space where everyone is free to share how they are feeling in that moment, which one can compare to a form of weather. The others listen through active listening, that is by focusing their attention on the speaker. (5-10 min.)
- Mindful meditation - A mindfulness meditation where one is invited to focus inwards, on what one can experience in that moment (observing one’s sensations, feelings and thoughts). This can be either a guided or an unguided mindfulness meditation. (20 min.)
- Various mindful activity - An alternating mindfulness activity, this can be some form of walking meditation, deep relaxation, movement meditation, eating meditation, or similar activity. One is again invited to focus on what one is experiencing, whilst doing this activity. (20-30 min.)
- Dharma sharing - The gathering ends with a sharing, here the one who wants to is invited to share what is on their heart. That could be what is happening in one’s life right now that is affecting emotions/experiences, a realization one has had, or similar. The others are listening through active listening. (20 min.)
It is important to respect the boundaries of both yourself as well as others in this space, you share and partake of the activities in a way that is right for you. Everything that others might share during the gathering stays in that space.
