What’s involved?
This online retreat will focus on exploring the teachings of mindfulness as they are presented in the early Buddhist tradition in the Satipatthana Discourse and the ways that this teaching informs contemporary teaching and mindfulness programmes. Contextualizing mindfulness helps us to develop a more nuanced understanding of the role that mindfulness plays in understanding the nature of distress and developing our capacity for resilience and compassionate responsiveness.
There will be a programme of sustained meditation, daily talks and instructions and group meetings.
