Timeless Presence in Daily Life

A series of three online Sunday morning retreats exploring the possibility of being grounded in the depth of timeless presence in the midst of daily life. We inquire into how to live a full life from silence and emptiness, whilst being yourself, at peace with others, and doing what needs to be done.

A day of retreat is, for a brief time, to stop the momentum of the world so that the profound and real may emerge and be embodied. A human life infused with meaning, freedom and love, a fulfilling life, means to develop a taste for certain values; a taste for truth, depth and simplicity of being. You do not need to achieve these qualities, you just need to appreciate them and orient yourself towards them, allowing yourself the time and opportunity for them to emerge and become an integrated part of your life. With a spirit of curiosity and kindness, we engage in meditative and inquiry practices that support realignment, deep rest, letting go and embodiment. If you have the possibility you may wish to spend this day in silence and use the morning teaching and practice as the start of your day of retreat. Each morning includes guided meditation, a teaching session, as well as mindful speaking and listening, being present in the relational field and conversations with the teacher.
