In this opening talk, Martin points to 3 kinds of liberation that form the ground of the retreat practice - freedom from views, freedom from compulsions, and freedom from self-concern.

Embodied attention (Yoniso Manisikara)

This talk explores how embodied attention can feels into and find out about all our experience. We explore how inquiry works, not as intellectual curiosity but as a body-cantered investigation that allows everything to be met and explored.

Complete and Continuous attention.

Martin explores the flexible nature of perception, and how deepening meditative skill can uncover, deconstruct and understand how we create the familiar reference points of experience.

Appropriate Attention.

We look at the kinds of attitudes we habitually bring to our practice, seeing the inertia and familiarity of unwholesome attitudes or spirits. We then explore the power of a generous spirit, or the practice of Dana, as a foundation for happiness.

Freely abiding awareness, freely unfolding experience.
