We are all intricately connected with all human and non-human beings, our planet Earth and the cosmos. Generosity and other ethical practices bring us into alignment with this truth. Love is the warmth of deeply caring in these relationships. Wisdom sees the empty nature of it all with the heart wide open. Please join us in meditation, reflection and other supportive practices as we explore these perspectives on the Dharma.
This retreat is taught in English.

A Heart That Resonates

We will explore together how mindful awareness can allow the fullness of our human experience to be felt with balance. We will sit together guided by the teachers, practice walking meditation in silence, and we will consider the Buddha’s teaching and make it relevant for us today. Our minds and hearts will be cultivated to become responsive, opening to all this life has to offer, healing the sharp edges and cultivating the truth and joy we can offer others and ourselves.
