The receptivity of listening awakens us to the living stream of life. This meditation guides us in listening to sounds, and then listening to and feeling the aliveness of our bodies and the movement of the breath. We close with a simple offering of lovingkindness to our inner life and our world.
“Resting with the breath as a raft might rest and move with the waves…” ~ Tara

Healing the Self, Loving the Self, Forgetting the Self
Matthew Brensilver
July 9 - 13, 2024
Co-sponsored by Insight Retreat Center (IRC) and Big Bear Retreat Center
In this silent retreat, we explore how mindfulness supports the healing of the self.
Many of the Buddhist teachings help us to tend to painful memory, old pains and the habits that compound suffering. As we become more gentle and loving towards experience, the self becomes less and less of a preoccupation. The more completely we accept ourselves, the easier it becomes to forget the self and rest in an awareness unencumbered by self-consciousness.
This retreat includes sitting and walking meditation instructions, and dharma talks.
