Before deciding the direction our lives should take in the future, it is helpful to thoroughly investigate where we are now. This insight meditation retreat will gently explore the terrain of our lives with compassion and wisdom.

This talk explores establishing a wise and kind relationship with our body. This becomes the basis for discovering that the experience of body has much wisdom to reveal in the dharma of life.
Rather than being a distant or fearful concept, we can use the truth of death as a tonic which can revitalize our lives, and invites a deeper letting go, into that which lies beyond death.
We begin to see(see through) the many ways we make ourselves up and keep ourselves going, finding less and less we call ME, and in the process finding our original brightness.
A reflection on the ten paramis: generosity, non-harming, renunciation, effort, patience, truthfulness, equanimity, resolve, wisdom, loving kindness and the noble aspiration to develop them in the service of all beings.
