Don Bank Museum: 'Insight and Soul-work: Opening to the Imaginal' - Meditation and dharma talk with Victor von der Heyde.

Soul-work or Imaginal Practice is based on Buddhist understandings of emptiness and grounded in settled meditations. It’s  a set of understandings and practices that are oriented to becoming less bound up in a world of flat materiality and more open a range of felt experiences which can include: sense of meaning, a calling, a sense of reverence, soulfulness, sacredness, unfathomability, senses of love, dimensionality.

It provides a space to engage with images or figures or gods that could be seen as having an imaginal existence, rather than a physical existence. Soul-work has secular foundations: there’s no set belief system. It provides guidance on what is helpful and what to watch out for in developing sensitivity and discernment

The Bluegum Sangha's dharma talk series provides a secular environment to hear Buddhist teachings. At their core, these teachings aim to help guide our lives towards liberation from dukkha (unsatisfactoriness).
