2017-04-08 Mindfulness Of Body - Ground, Space and Rhythm 46:58

2017-04-08 Puja: Entering The Sacred 53:57

2017-04-07 Going Forth - A Refuge 1:32:05
Ayya Medhanandi
Entering a period of silent retreat simulates the monastic 'Going Forth' with an aspiration to deepen our virtue, samadhi, and wisdom. We take Refuge in our highest spiritual potential as human beings, working from faith in our ability to do this; training and transforming the mind through good-will, wise reflection, and selflessness; and opening our hearts to offer that refuge and safety to others.
