Blue in Buddhism is the colour most associated with the open and ultimately empty space of potentiality that we call sunyata. Similarly, mind’s true nature is often compared to a deep blue sky - open, unobstructed and luminous, out of which all the Buddhas appear.
At the same time, the colour blue is associated with grief, longing, and with sorrow. The Blues vividly express suffering whilst calling to the dignity of human endurance. Blue evokes reflection and soulfulness through engagement with the depths and heights of the imagination that creates meaning out of the pain and beauty of our shared human experience.
Imagination is the faculty that experiences and expresses in sensible form that which is essentially inexpressible.

This weekend will explore this breadth of blue through meditation, reflection, creativity and open group process. If you resonate with blue as something in you or beyond you, come and play in the depths and expanse of blue with other travellers on the path.
