All enquiries concerning the Website should be addressed to Share International UK using the contact details at the end of this document.

The Website publishes details of public activities (lectures, workshops, video showings, discussions, etc) organized by Share International-affiliated groups in the UK.

1. For matters relating to the UK Transmission Meditation Group Network (https://uk.share-international.org/transmission-meditation-network/). This form is intended for those who are seeking to join an established Transmission Meditation group in their area, and invites them to provide personal details with the aim of facilitating contact between them and any existing local groups. The form can also be used by anyone who has such an established meditation group to notify Share International UK of its existence, and to say whether or not it will accept referrals from anyone seeking to join such a group. Finally, the form can also be used to request removal from the Transmission Meditation Group Network.
