WINTER DAYLONG RETREAT: Living with loving-kindness
21 July, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm UTC+2
This daylong retreat, held in a nurturing atmosphere of contemplative silence at this stunning venue near Stellenbosch, is an opportunity to learn the art of living with loving-kindness. The practice of metta, sometimes translated from the Pali/Sanskrit as “immeasurable friendliness,” is the foundation of compassion and allows us to align the heart and mind with an awareness which is free of judgement and the curse of perfectionism. It is the quality of the heart and mind which enables us to cultivate a safe and containing home within, and which allows us to establish clear and healthy boundaries, both internally and in all our interactions.
The day includes Dharma teachings inspired by the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, guided meditations in all postures, as well as qigong (chi kung) movement meditation, which will enhance our awareness of the body through connecting with the elements. A delicious 2 course vegetarian/vegan lunch, as well as teas, will be savoured in silence, as part of our integrated practice.
This daylong retreat can be attended separately or as the first session of the short July - August course: Embracing Life with Kindness and Compassion.
