At this time of Winter Solstice we explore a number of ways that our practice is to open to the dark (as nature's stillness and silence, as the unknown, as the difficult and as fertile and generative) and to evoke the light, learning better how to hold both.
Mindfulness: This talk looks at the lighter, playful side of mindfulness and the importance of the quality of clear knowing or comprehending that is always associated with mindfulness.
This is the opening talk for a retreat that welcomes young people (aged 16 - 25) to explore meditation and the Buddha's teaching on the four noble truths, and how this teaching sheds light on our own difficulties and opens up the possibility of deep freedom. This talk also includes Caroline Jones.
