On this seven-day retreat we’ll learn that these three foundations, and the traditional dhyāna factors they correspond to, are not things that we make happen, but are instead experiences that arise naturally as we let go of striving to focus, and instead let the mind come into a state of complete rest and openness. We’ll also experience more clearly how the three dhyāna foundations provide an ideal basis for exploring insight.

In this home retreat, Karunadevi, and team, will lead us in meeting the five Buddha pairs in meditation and visualization.

On this retreat, we will explore some of the mythic imagery and nature themes in the Buddha's story, looking at how these unfold both in his teaching and within the Buddhist tradition, and are deeply relevant to our lives today.
