Bringing all of ourselves to what we do. And using all the skills we have learned on the cushion into the world. Burgeoning the boundaries by fecund fabrication. This retreat takes place in home for the outcasts Anandwan (lit: Forest of Bliss/Joy), in Maharashtra, India.
When we fully inhabit our body, we discover the space and wakefulness of awareness itself. In this meditation, we rest in this open awareness, and when the attention narrows into thoughts, we practice relaxing back into the openness that includes passing sounds, sensations and feelings. We close with a brief offering of lovingkindness to our own hearts and our world (with community OMs – no bell at end).
