Dharma Talks given at Gaia House
2011-09-22 Mindful Movement 47:04
Clare Brejcha
This is a guided session of mindful movement. The body offers us a very different way of knowing the world and of being in it. When we begin to fully inhabit the body as the body, rather than the body we conceptualize as 'me', we begin to discover our connection with all that is.

2011-09-11 Talk Five - The Heart Free of Clinging: Four Expressions of Love 1:21:01
Martin Aylward
The series of 5 talks from this retreat explore a central feature of Dharma practice and teachings: How we get uptight and reactive (Upadana / Clinging) around our experience, and the transformational possibility of letting go. The talks cover the Buddhas teachings on the 3 main realms of experience that we cling most tightly to, as well as exploring and pointing towards the nature of the heart that is free from clinging. This fifth and closing talk looks at the affective quality of our experience in the heart. This explores the subjective experience of clinging as greed, hatred and delusion, and Martin points out how as the heart clarifies, it naturally rests into the expanded states of different forms of love.
