About

Insight meditation practice explores the whole mind body unity with curiosity and mindfulness. The Buddha claimed that, ‘Within this fathom long body lies the path to wholeness and awakening.’

As an ancient treasure map the body is a crucible for inner transformation. With mindful, embodied, compassionate presence we can untangle and release those knots of tension and contracted identity and find replenishment, grounding and insight. For life to flourish each one of us must return again and again to the ground and refuge of our own wakeful presence and aliveness.

Retreat Program : This is a silent retreat consisting of sitting, walking and guided meditations, meditation instruction, group and individual meetings with teachers, open inquiry sessions, evening Dharma talks, mindfulness work periods, free time and optional yoga periods.
