Retreat Dharma Talks at Gaia House

Liberation Through Loving Awareness

The meditation practices of Insight and Metta (goodwill or loving kindness) are powerful transformative vehicles that connect us with our potential to awaken to ever deepening levels of love and wisdom in life.

On this retreat we explore our capacity to welcome each moment with a kind and spacious attention, to nourish a sense of wellbeing and joy, and to deepen our understanding of ourselves and all beings. In addition to sitting and walking meditation, dharma reflections and discussion, some mindful movement (qigong) will be offered.
