* No Yoga on Thursday 9 September
* FPMT & HBC Induction Workshop: (suitable for all)
10am - 4pm Saturday 11 September
Lunch: Bring a vegetarian plate to share
Come along and find out how our Centre works and how it fits into the 159 centres, monasteries and projects around the world that make up the inspiring organisation founded by the late Lama Thubten Yeshe and now directed by Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche.
* The day will be split in two sessions. The morning session will introduce FPMT and HBC with emphasis on the past, present and future of the organisation and our centre. Be prepared to be stretched by Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche's Vast Visions!! This will be an ideal time for everyone to learn about both FPMT and HBC and, for old as well as new students to connect more deeply with our Spiritual founders. The morning will involve both formal and informal presentations as well as hopefully a short film .
* Lunch will be a 'bring a vegetarian plate' affair and all being well, we'll relax outdoors with some tasty treats. It'll be a great time to share and meet new and old faces (figuratively of course).
* The afternoon session will focus on the important task of 'volunteering' at HBC and will commence with a reading from Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche. A general overview of what goes on at HBC and who does what will be combined with some specific induction material of interest to all volunteers and would be volunteers.
HBC is totally run of course by volunteers and we are very pleased to be able to offer the first of what we hope will become a regular series of volunteer workshops. So in short, there's something over the day for everyone. Please reserve time in your diary to join us in this celebratory event.
We looking forward to seeing you on the 11th September.
Warm wishes - John Waite and Dave Webb
