Mindful Living. This body, this breath, this feeling.
This retreat is for people with some experience of the mindfulness of breathing practice
About the retreat
How can we come home to ourselves and be at ease? What am I doing on my meditation cushion? How can we live peacefully with our feelings?
This weekend at Shallowford Retreat Centre explores some answers to these questions, with Dharma Teachers Jane Coatesworth and Lesley Collington. The wisdom of the Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing will be used as the basis for the teaching. During the retreat we have the opportunity to practice mindfully throughout the day and to form a caring community. In this environment we can relax and make space to look deeply into the teachings and to integrate them with our own experience.
‘Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.’ Thich Nhat Hanh
