Loving Kindness and the Heavenly Messengers | Brigid Lowry | 6 September 2024

Brigid Lowry has been a Buddhist for over forty years. She spent
six years at Wat Buddha Dharma as part of the lay community,
helping to run retreats for many teachers, including Ayya Khema,
Phra Khantipalo and Joseph Goldstein. She has been a Zen student
for many years and is also a Vipassana practitioner. Brigid has
an MA in Creative Writing and is the author of many prize-winning
YA books. Her adult titles are Still Life With Teapot: On Zen,
Writing and Creativity and A Year of Loving Kindness to Myself
and Other Essays. The later was chosen by Apple books to be Best
Book of the Month in April 2021. Fremantle Press will publish her
new title in February 2026 – A Time of Living Graciously: Essays
on Ageing. Brigid believes in op shops, coloured pencils and
floral frocks, and in fostering joy and creativity in herself and
others. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some
interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night
talk. HEAVENLY MESSENGERS 2024 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series
