Reclamation of the Sacred: A Journey of Healing and Reconnection Through Insight Meditation

This retreat, held within the context of silence, will focus on the embodiment of insight that reveals a blessed sacredness within all life. Through training our attention, wise discernment and investigation, the Amata Dharma - undying Dharma - is intuitively known as the core matrix of pure consciousness within all that emerges and dissolves. Such knowing begins to transform our world, personally and collectively, enabling and strengthening an inner sense of freedom and confidence.

The course, open to both beginners and experienced practitioners, will explore these themes supported by guided meditations, talks about the Buddha's teachings, check-ins with the teachers, Pali chanting, Bodhisattva Kuan Yin devotions and qigong.
