Embodying the Awakened Heart

At the heart of the Buddha’s teachings is the real possibility of Awakening: our innate potential to discover inner peace and freedom, and to embody the unobstructed openness of our deepest truth. This retreat explores the art of Insight Meditation as an invitation to be authentic with our experience, to relax into an intimate relationship with the depth of our being, and to cultivate a genuine kind-heartedness towards ourselves, and all of life. In learning to trust our experience in each moment, we can come to abide in the warm, spacious presence of the awakened heart. As we grow in wakefulness we can see ever more deeply into the mystery and beauty of experience, and are able to respond to life with clarity and compassion. There are full instructions, guided meditations, teachings, Loving-kindness practice, and regular meetings with the teachers. Suitable for new and experienced meditators.
