Opening the heart, freeing the mind: An Insight Dialogue Retreat
With Phyllis K. Hicks and Joyce Curnan
Join us for this relational meditation retreat. When we open to the immediacy of our experience, we have supportive conditions for seeing clearly, for loosening identification, and for transforming tension and reactivity into understanding. As we cultivate meditative qualities together, the heart releases into connection. We discover suffering and the end of suffering.[…]
Living Dharma
With Rosalie Dores and Ayya Anopama
As human beings subject to birth, ageing, sickness and death, how can we live in a way that leads to happiness? In response to this human predicament, the Buddha taught a path leading to freedom: a Dharma that is ‘apparent’ and accessible in the ‘here and now’ of our everyday lives, and that each of […]
Ruimte Geven
With Bart van Melik and Riët Aarsse
Ruimte geven is ons thema van deze retraite. Ruimte om te vertragen, om helemaal jezelf te zijn, om niets in jezelf af te wijzen. Tijdens deze dagen oefenen we samen in Insight Dialogue — een boeddhistische meditatievorm waarin we met aandacht spreken en luisteren. Door deze beoefening ontstaat er een natuurlijke rust en verbinding, die ons helpt […]

Retraite de Dialogue Conscient
With Anne Michel and Adriana Orellana de Rickebusch
La pratique du Dialogue Conscient nous met en relation directe avec la beauté et la complexité du monde interrelationnel.

Experiencing the Relational Dharma in Insight Dialogue
With Gregory Kramer
Human beings are fully relational just as they are individual. Because the Dharma addresses the human experience of suffering and freedom, it, too, must be both fully relational and individual. This program will be an exploration of our living experience of the individual and relational manifestations of Dharma teachings on suffering and freedom, insight, the […]

In der bedingungslosen Akzeptanz unserer inneren Erfahrung und in der Beziehung zu anderen öffnet sich die Tür zu […]
