One of the core teachings of the Dharma is that our happiness and wellbeing rely less on our experiences than how we respond to them. The implications of this are significant and suggest that through insight (vipassana) meditation we learn how to relate to the mind and body in a manner conducive to a relaxed mind; we can remain at ease despite circumstances. This realistic goal is both practical and attainable with the correct view and skills. In this half-day insight meditation retreat we will look closely at the ways the mind is habituated towards grasping and clinging, while practicing meditation techniques to disrupt this pattern in favor of non-attachment.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, beginners and experienced meditators alike. Coffee and Tea will be provided.
