As part of Abbey House Museum's Revive, Repair, Re-Use exhibition programme, why not join us for a guided tour to find out what goes on at nearby Kirkstall Valley Farm?

We will set off from Abbey House Museum at 12.25pm on foot, with the tour starting at 1pm for anyone who wants to meet us there. Places are free, but booking is required to make sure we don’t leave anyone behind. As it is a working farm, please remember to wear suitable clothes and footwear as you might get a bit muddy!

Here we will connect with loving kindness meditation – with a lengthy period of self loving kindness practise – befriending our adult selves and other diverse aspects of our nature.

A Pay As You Feel event.

Exploring the ancient archetype and symbol of the green man – his inspiration and resilience. This will draw on inspiration from William Anderson as well as looking at ancient vision of forest myths. 

We’ll also go for a stroll around the Abbey grounds afterwards. 

Men only.

Men face a lot of pressure in modern society and mens’ empowerment and orientation is very important. Here we explore what we might mean by the mature masculine drawing on Jungian psychology and archetypes – in part images of growth and empowerment.

This is a Pay As You Feel event. It will take place in the Gatehouse at Abbey House Museum (the old café). Led by Steve Hart, a Dharma & Vision Holder in the Zen Peacemaker community.
