“Aliveness
of the Present Moment”
Calm Abiding and Insight retreat
4th
- 10th Oct.
When mental calmness is joined with penetrative insight the experience
of bliss and emptiness arises and transforms our being. Do we have sufficient
mental calm and physical ease to rest in the moment, looking deeply into
the mirror of what is, without fear or fabrication?
In its simplicity this retreat offers the skills and means to rest in
what is without the need to do or undo, deliberately not manufacturing
anything, neither adding nor taking.
Instead we choose to bear witness as in watching the ripples on the surface
of the lake, open, spacious and empty of self.
An introduction to the Holistic Clearing Meditations will be given.
They include meditation on our strengths, on our lacks and negatives,
based on “the body in the body” mindfulness. Practised in
that context they will support us and lead to a new feeling of freedom
in our being.
If you have a skill in some art or craft and are happy to share it with
the group please speak to Sonia as there will be time to create something
with our mind-heart and hands as an expression of this simple yet profound
state of being.
Cost: £225, incl. accomm. Bring food to share.
Plus dana to the
teacher.

reflects the value you place on the teaching,
the joy of giving and what is realistic for you.
Each participant arrives at the amount voluntarily.
If you need guidance as to a reasonable amount,
then the suggestion would be £12 per day"
