sake! Please bring your brushes and chants.

WEEKEND PROGRAMMES
Friday 17 to Sunday 19 October
Meek

Meek is the foundation and platform of the other three dignities. Any ordinary situation in our lives allows for the sense of meek to arise. Meek suspends judgement and allows our inquisitive nature to function. Ordinarily we may jump into a new situation, or pull back from it; meek allows us to stay with things as they are.
