Launching the Middle Way Network
The recent Virtual Festival of the Middle Way has galvanised interest in the Middle Way from a larger group of people than we have been in contact with before, and who have given overwhelmingly positive feedback about the event (which we’re very grateful for!). Many people have also expressed interest in follow-up either online or face-to-face.
To meet this need, we are intending to launch some new regular sessions for discussion and connection which we will call The Middle Way Network. These sessions will be based on Zoom, but are also intended to help foster the conditions that can eventually allow face-to-face groups to develop when the lockdown is over. We will have a preliminary Zoom meeting about this on Sun 3rd May 2020, and the first meeting proper on 17th May.

Announcing our new webinar programme
We’ve got a new monthly webinar programme now open for booking, 
running for 13 months from Dec 2018 to Dec 2019. There will be a variety of topics, all of which involve the relationship between an area of practice or interest and the Middle Way – for example, the Middle Way and Meditation, the Middle Way and Science, the Middle Way and Judaism. This is your opportunity to find out more about a Middle Way perspective in relation to a topic that already interests you, interacting with members of the society in real time online.
For more information, including the full programme and how to book, please see this page.

New retreats for 2018
We’re pleased to announce two new weekend retreats for 2018.
At Easter 2018, Barry Daniel will be leading a walking retreat in the English Lake District, combining walking in the mountains with meditation. An opportunity to get lots of exercise, make friends and develop mindfulness, all with a Middle Way theme and at the same time! Please see this page for more details.
In July 2018, Robert M Ellis will also be leading a retreat 
on the Christian Middle Way – for anyone (whether self-identified as ‘Christian’ or not) who wants to work positively with appreciating the meaning of the Christian tradition whilst avoiding absolute beliefs. This retreat is timed to coincide with the release of Robert’s new book ‘The Christian Middle Way: The case against Christian belief but for Christian faith’ and will include several talks by Robert, as well as discussion and meditation. Please see this page for more details.
There are also still a few places left on our Autumn Retreat: Compassion, Imagination and the Middle Way led by Nina Davies (Nov 10th-12th 2017). Book now!
