Nature, Love and Embodiment: seven-day silent meditation retreat
Seven-day silent meditation retreat with Robyn Gibson and Louise Taylor.
The Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness centre on our direct human experience of the body, feelings, mind, and phenomena (the way things are). Everything we meet in life is known via these four ‘portals’. In this seven-day retreat, we will explore practical ways of attending to body, feelings, mind and phenomena, which support the cultivation of serenity and clear seeing, both necessary on the path towards a life free from discontent.
Over the days we will weave our way between stillness and movement, practiceworkshops, dharma talks, and quiet time in the wild natural setting of Dorje Ling retreat centre, nestled in beautiful and secluded Lorinna Valley in the heart of Tasmania, in mountains not far from the Cradle Mountain World Heritage Park.The retreat will be held in silence, with opportunity for discussion and questions each day, and personal meetings with the teachers. The retreat is suitable for beginning and more experienced meditators.
