Embodying the Heart of Wisdom: New Year’s Retreat

The Buddha's teachings offer a pathway to discover inner peace, freedom and the compassionate heart. Through understanding the way things are, we can come to know what it means to awaken in the midst of our life, to be deeply connected to our experience, and yet not bound by it.

This silent retreat will focus on cultivating a quality of conscious presence that embraces our heart, mind and body with acceptance and wisdom. Insight meditation practice will be supported by instructions, lovingkindness meditation and regular meetings with the teachers. All are welcome.

Catherine McGee
Whether or not I see myself as an adherent of the modern world view, how might this view be acting, nonetheless, as a default and almost invisible dogma keeping me bound in certain kinds of suffering and acting to circumscribe and limit what kind of awakening might be possible.
