Finding the Mind - Urban Retreat

Finding the Mind – Urban Retreat

Friday 29th December 2023 - Saturday 30th December 2023
10:00am - 5:00pm

Led by Vajrashura

An In-Person Event

At the end of the year, we can be lost in a strange mix of worldly over-consumption and spiritual under-nourishment! In all this, we can lose touch with the deeper nature of the mind and its significance in how we create our experience of self and world.

On this two-day urban retreat of meditation instruction and practice, Vajrashura will lead an exploration of The Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha’s teaching on mindfulness.

We’ll firstly connect with the context for mind, the body, and how the body feels. Then we notice the quality of mind we have within this bodily experience, and how we can creatively respond to this mind that we find ourselves with.

Finding the mind also involves realizing for ourselves what constitutes a healthy, positive, and fit mind, how we can cultivate this for ourselves, and how bringing into being this fit mind is itself the main part of the direct way to freedom as described by the Buddha.

Suitable for: anyone who knows The Mindfulness of Breathing and The Metta Bhavana meditation practices.
