28 Aug – 6 Sept | led by Vidyamala, Sanghadeva + Prajnanita
This retreat will be an immersion in the Dharma life using the Satipatthana Sutta as our guide. This is a seminal early Buddhist text on mindfulness that outlines a progressive approach to Awakening.
Over the retreat we will explore mindfulness of Body, Vedana (feeling tone), Citta (heart/mind) and Dhammas (Reality), all placed within a context of Insight, Love and Clear Seeing.
Alongside these teachings and meditation sessions, we will rise early and do Qi Gong before meditating, have group and individual meditation reviews, pujas in the evenings and a chance to do some physical exercise each day using a circuit training set-up in the Adhisthana barns. Most of the retreat will be in silence.
All in all it will be a workout for the body, heart and mind alongside the signature Triratna qualities of warmth, care and Sangha.
