A weekend exploring suññatā as non-separation with Tejananda
Hosted By: Tejananda
Friday, October 3rd to Sunday, October 5th, 2025
Online via Zoom - see session times below
Event Description:
In my online retreat earlier in the year, the “moon” to which I was pointing was the unfindability of a separate self. The kind of self that we think we are — persisting, potentially satisfactory, and somehow “who and what I really am” — is nothing but a mental fabrication. Our fabricating of this leads to suffering.
This weekend retreat explores the other “side” of the equation: if there is “self,” there must be a separate “other.” And indeed, the sense of separation is a further, deep cause of unnecessary suffering.
Our nature is, in reality, whole and undivided. This non-separation is what we will be exploring, by becoming inquisitive about the question: what is the actual nature of our immediate sense experience?
It is not what we think.
These explorations stand in their own right and people who were not on the earlier retreat are welcome.

Like all our events, this retreat is offered by donation rather than charging a compulsory ticket price. We want to do this because we never want money to be an obstacle to taking part in a supportive community, and we know many people are struggling financially.
