This service will be at 11am on Sunday 18th January 2026, led by Kainara Motta on “Meditation for Self-Compassion”. Kainara says:

“Our first session in 2026 will focus on self-compassion. You are invited to pause in the rush of the beginning of the year and join us in this safe, supportive space to reflect, breathe, and reconnect with yourself just as you are. This practice is not about fixing or changing anything, but about meeting our present experience with kindness, curiosity, and care. Grounded in the understanding that life is impermanent and ever-changing, we will explore how compassion can support us through both ease and difficulty during this year. Through a calm and contemplative hour, you are invited to offer yourself the same kindness you would offer a close friend. All experiences are welcome, and simply showing up is enough.”

We will be in the Large Spiritual Commons Room at Northumbria University for worshipping in person and online via Zoom at:
