Zohar Lavie
Talk in Hebrew, about how experience is fabricated. Particularly by the way of relating of 'firing the second arrow' of 'dukkha' towards what is difficult, and how we can find a more appropriate and liberating response via a 'metta' way of relating.

2020-04-11 Day 1 Instructions - Welcoming Body in a Spacious Awareness 54:31
Nathan Glyde
Supporting steadiness, openness, and dedication in our practice. Via a spread and open awareness that is intentionally receiving–inviting–the present body sensations into the spacious awareness. Our dedication is to stay steady with it, and to re-open and re-invite, when our attention, naturally, moves away. All of this is done with a gentle atmosphere of metta–kindness.

2020-04-10 Opening Talk - Metta and Emptiness 39:19
Nathan Glyde
Introducing the main concept of this retreat: sankhara-fabrication. In particular the insight that experience is 'made up' from an object in attention and an atmosphere of attention. The latter we could call the way of relating, or way of looking (as Rob Burbea teaches it). We can pay attention to different objects, and that affects expereince. We can also develop ('bhavana' = cultivate) other atmospheres or modes of attending.

Ajahn Sucitto
We can use this experience of lock down to address the routines and standards that support our daily becoming. The mind is pulled further and further wondering what to do, planning what's next. What to do is stop, rest in the body, maintain deep attention. Consider rituals that nuplug and cut the tide of becoming.
