Enjoy a full weekend of quiet contemplation. We will explore the path of awakening through the lens of what gets in the way of establishing mental clarity and wisdom. Namely, the five common obstacles known in the Buddhist tradition as the hindrances: desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restlessness and worry, and doubt.
Through sustained mindfulness practice, we begin to recognize our conditioning and a natural compassion arises for ourselves and others. We can develop resilience, ease and joy, that carries us peacefully on life’s path.
We’ll practice mindful movement (yoga), seated and walking meditation, mindful eating, and restfulness and uncover the simple pleasure that is available when we pause and allow the mind to settle.
We will practice together in noble silence, with clear instructions and opportunities for reflections and questions.
Suitable for all levels. Beginners are welcome. Please reach out if you have questions.
