With Dara Williams and Tuere Sala
We invite you to True North Insight's seventh meditation retreat for BIPOC folx. While we all may have experiences in common, we are also a tapestry of many colours, backgrounds, cultures, orientations, life experiences, world views, and identities. This retreat aims to bring together a community of people of colour for practice in an environment of safety and ease where all of one's self is welcome, appreciated and celebrated.
The retreat will offer an introduction to Insight Meditation, (Vipassana) and heart practices, (Brahmaviharas) holding noble silence as practice in our retreat container.
Through the offerings of guided stationary (seated, standing, or reclined) and movement (walking) instructions, you will become acquainted with the words and philosophy of the Dharma through talks and reflections by the teachers. This is an accessible retreat for meditators in the beginning stages of practice, as well as for those who have some practice experience.
It is our hope that you will join us and that you will experience the practice as an antidote and as medicine to soothe and resource us. This practice can ease the impact on us individually and collectively and mitigate the stress caused by the cultural and structural manifestation of oppression, racism, genocide, and colonization that has impacted BIPOC for and through the generations.
