The Ground of Practice (online retreat)

Meditation practice is the simple act of being present to our experience without grasping; the willingness to befriend the moment in its fullness, with tender curiosity.

Opening to the ever-changing flow of life as it happens, meditation supports us in engaging creatively with what is arising.

On this weekend retreat we have periods of stillness meditation and meditation with movement, as well as instructions and reflections. There is also be opportunities for questions and discussion with the teacher.
