Spiritual Receptivity

Led by Vessantara

*This retreat is nearly full, please email admin@adhisthana.org to confirm there is space.*

Vessantara continues his exploration of our mandala of spiritual practice with a second, deeper look at Spiritual Receptivity. This one will focus on Just Sitting, in which we’re open to the whole of our experience. Just Sitting forms a vital balance to structured practice, and is also the centre of the meditative mandala, where everything culminates in an experience which Sangharakshita describes as ‘existential relaxation’.

In this 9-day retreat we’ll explore ways into the practice, how to avoid possible pitfalls, and how to set up the conditions for this radical relaxation and simplicity of true Just Sitting.
