Within this very body, the Buddha declared, we have everything we need to discover the origin and cessation of suffering. Yet we tend to ignore our bodies or pay distorted, unwise attention to them. On this silent retreat, suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators, we will train in embodied awareness, the direct experience of our physical life. We will also practice living with clearer understanding and a kinder attitude toward our bodies' organic, changing nature.
A daily, optional group movement session - gentle enough for most body types and abilities - will be offered by Jeanne Ann Whittington. This will explore the themes of the retreat in the context of movement.
