If we can we know peace is possible, for ourselves and
our society.
The way we live our lives is our message”

To Meditate
To meditate does not mean to struggle with a problem
To meditate means to observe
We pay attention to our breath, as we breathe in,body, breath, and mind—come together.
We know peace is possible
This is working for peace

Last Saturday, we had 61 people attend the afternoon of mindfulness – WOW! It was a special occasion because
1) We wanted to celebrate 4 years of Wake Up London because our first afternoon of mindfulness took place on 18th September 2010.
2) We had two monastic brothers, Br. Phap Linh and Br. Phap Lai from Plum Village visiting to offer a talk and guide the mindfulness practices.
Thanks to all those who stayed on to celebrate, eat cake and sing songs! Here are some photos from the evening:
We’ve been working with two friends from Awakin communities on a special evening event with a musician on a pilgrimage, Nimo.
Nimo, aka Empty Hands Music, has a mission to spread seeds of goodness in the world through selfless service, music and love. All of Empty Hands Music offerings are gifts to the world.
The 2014 Empty Hands Music Tour, is a 7-month pilgrimage across the US and UK to share and engage communities along the way in the themes of gratitude, service, love, and joy embedded in Nimo’s music. The intention is not so much to perform, but rather, to plant seeds of goodness and connect hearts in the spirit of service. At each event inspiring individuals are invited to share stories related to the themes of Nimo’s songs.
Wake Up London and friends of Empty Hands Music are delighted to announce that there will be an Evening of Songs, Stories and Inspiration on Friday 7th November at St. Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. Members of the Wake Up London community will be sharing their stories and songs alongside Nimo. Leading up to the event, there will be an opportunity to take part in doing 7 Days of Acts of Kindness together.

Wake Up London is a community of individuals practicing together to promote peace and reconciliation within ourselves and for our planet. We’d love to highlight what’s happening within our community, and how the practice is positively impacting our society.
