  • Colehill Writers Group

    Last updated at 11:20 on 3 January 2025

    This group is running

    Colehill Writers Group offers a safe and encouraging environment where members write together. We share our work if we wish to, but the aim is to inspire and support each other, rather than offering detailed critical feedback.
    We meet monthly in The Alec Moore Room at St. Michael's Church Centre, from 1.15 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. on the third Friday.
    The group is self-supporting, so there is a small monthly charge to cover costs. We are open to all and new members are welcome, but numbers are limited to twelve.  Please note that the group does not meet during August.
    Please email Ian Nicholson at ian.elsewhere@btinternet.com if you wish to join us.

  • East Dorset Buddhism Group

    Last updated at 08:44 on 19 October 2022

    This Group is Running

    Group meets for meditation and discussion in the Alec Moore Room on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month between 10.30am and 12.30pm.

    The meeting begins with a 30 minute period of sitting meditation which is preceded and concluded by some brief chanting. For those new to meditation there is the possibility of basic instruction. The group then usually reads a Buddhist publication which is discussed informally, or occasionally a tape by a Buddhist teacher is listened to and then discussed. Meetings may end with a further short period of meditation. No experience is necessary to attend meetings and anyone interested will be made welcome.  For more information contact Steve 01202 880661
