Retreat Dharma Talks at Gaia House

Compassion, Beauty and Imagination

Sometimes we might assume that our imaginations are a hindrance on the path of Dharma practice. But what might become possible for us when we engage our imagination with wisdom, skill and sensitivity?

With our hearts and imaginations at the centre of this weekend retreat, held within a context of silence, we will offer meditations and inquiries that deepen our access to the beautiful qualities of heart, and that can restore and open our senses of sacredness.

This retreat can serve as a stand alone retreat to support your path of practice whichever tradition(s) you are at home in. And it will also support those of you who know the frameworks and practices of Soulmaking Dharma as taught by Rob Burbea.

This retreat is intended for Dharma practitioners who:

• are interested in working with imagination and in a creative cultivation of kindness and compassion.
• can readily access a full body awareness in their meditation practice
• recognize a desire for more of something they might term beauty or sacredness
• have an open mind
