Waking from the
Meme Dream
Friday 1st December - Sunday 3rd December
2006
This weekend
will be a chance to learn about the science of memetics and
especially how it might help with the practice of meditation and
mindfulness, as well as practicing meditation in a beautiful house
in Devon.
The
schedule is based on those
usually followed at Sharpham, and consists of a mixture of talks,
discussion and meditation periods.
If you would
like to read something about memes before you arrive the following
