Our experienced reality is a weave of consciousness – of feelings, impressions and responses that interact and co-arise with a world that seems to be outside us. However, in Buddhism, ‘self” and ‘world” are aspects of an interconnected cosmos. This cosmos is a field within which we can cultivate sacred, Dhamma qualities that heal, harmonise and empty the field of grasping and its consequent suffering.’

The retreat will be guided by practices of relinquishment, devotion and contemplation. These include chanting, moral and renunciant precepts, and mindfulness immersed in the body. There will also be occasions of small group interactive practice.

This retreat is open to practitioners with previous experience of at least 3 meditation retreats.
