Retreat Dharma Talks

Bright Mind, Open Heart (With Long Silences Where Translation was)

These talks were recorded locally by Nathan, so there is silence where the Czech translation was. On this retreat, we will explore vipassanā and mettā meditation. These are ways of meeting our life that bring clarity and joy. The practices of insight meditation (vipassanā) are offered to bring a sense of deep freedom and stable well-being right here and now. When these insight practices are combined with the cultivation of the heart towards kindness and care (mettā), lasting change is within our reach. Mettā and Insight support a bright clarity in mind and soft and open quality to our hearts: a meaningful liberation for our lives.
