PURCHASE OF PAST RETREAT

Insight Retreat to Cultivate Calm, Wisdom and Compassion
We will experience a range of Insight Meditations, the practice of developing calm through the mindful investigation into the nature of being, leading to wisdom, compassion and the end of suffering.
The practices will focus upon gentle and kindly awareness of the body, the breath, our presence, thereby awakening to deep peace and clarity.

Retreat leaders are Karen Atkinson and Rob Sully.
We’re changing format a little and focusing for longer periods of time on each of the four ennobling qualities that we can cultivate to incline the heart toward emotional and psychological maturity and freedom- kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity.

“Out of the soil of friendliness grows the beautiful bloom of compassion,
Watered by the tears of joy,
Sheltered beneath the cool shade of the tree of equanimity” (Longchenpa, a 14th century teacher of Tibetan Buddhism.)
