“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.
“Dana 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"
