Every Sunday at Hawkwood 9am  - 10am a group meets to spend an hour in meditation.  This is an open and friendly group.  Perhaps you would like to come along one Sunday for a peaceful hour. 

There is a mid-week session on Wednesday at 8.20 - 8.50am. This is a space in the working week for us to gather and be together in silence and stillness.

See below for some writings about Meditation...

The Meditation Space is available at other times by arrangement with the front office. Tel: 01453 759034.  info@hawkwoodcollege.co.uk

This unique and beautiful type of Japanese embroidery is an early art form dating back to 500AD, used originally for the Buddhist temples and for the elaborate decoration of kimonos.  Students of Japanese embroidery learn traditional methods and techniques for producing truly stunning works of art.

The courses are for both beginners and intermediates. Beginners will make a start on their first piece, to be continued at home and completed at future courses.

These courses take place throughout the year.

EXPANDING OUR PLANETARY AWARENESS      Evening talk with William Meader

 Friday 18 May 2012  8.00  –  9.30 pm

A planet is far more than it seems.  Instead of simply being an orbiting mass of inert matter, each of the known planets is the dense manifestation of a Cosmic Life.  Esoterically understood, every planetary body is a living being that radiates its life force throughout the circumference of the solar system, and each has an evolutionary effect upon humanity.  In this talk, we will closely examine the nature of these planetary entities, and how they each contribute to the unfoldment of human consciousness, individually and collectively considered.

THE MAYAN PROPCHECY:  An Esoteric Perspective

 Evening talk with William Meader

Friday 16 November 2012  8.00  –  9.30 pm

 Around the world, much is being said about the Mayan Calendar and its culmination on 21 December 2012.  There are many who believe that it is a dire indicator predicting the collapse of civilisation as we know it. Yet, for others, it represents a great transition into a new and dawning age. In this talk, William Meader will present the esoteric view on this remark moment in human history. Discussed from an astronomical, societal and spiritual perspective, he will show how the ending of the Mayan Calendar profoundly correlates to the Burning-Ground period that leads to a great initiatory opportunity for Humanity.
