| It is 2,600 years since Siddhartha Gautama experienced a profound awakening and became the Buddha. In our current times, what does it mean for us to fully wake up? Throughout this insight meditation retreat, we will seek to answer this question through Buddhist teachings and practices, which offer a path toward greater clarity, compassion, freedom, and ease of being. We will cultivate our capacity to abide in wisdom and love through the integration of the mind, body, heart. It is the integration of wisdom and love that can take us to freedom in this very life, here and now. The practices of the heart and the wisdom born from understanding can create the conditions for an integrated awareness. By engaging the heartmind through reflection and the practices of Lovingkindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity we can open and move towards wholeness as we walk this spiritual journey called life. |
