In these retreats we will deepen into the teachings of the Buddha for the liberation of the heart and mind. Being in direct contact with life beyond ideas reveals depth and aliveness that can open us to the ease of being, clarity, energy, and wisdom. Becoming intimate with ourselves and with life expands our perspective and help free our painful habit patterns of stress and negativity that tend to keep us small and limited. The supportive and caring atmosphere of the retreat will allow the exploration of our human experience, and to step into making ourselves available for liberating insights, to free up the heart and mind.

Our relationships shape our world and influence our well-being deeply. As human beings we are constantly in relationships: with the world around us, with those close to us and with ourselves.
Is our world one of accusations and anger, polarization and struggle, hostility and resentment, or a world of deep understanding, friendship, kindness and harmony?
Buddhist teaching and practices embody an ancient and yet radical toolbox that can help us break free from painful patterns that bind us, and offer an invaluable perspective that can change our inner world and hence our relationships in all facets of life. Through meditation, enquiry, and deepening into the Buddhist teachings, we will look at the patterns that bind us to a life of discontent and struggle, and explore the way out of them, to a fulfilling, friendly and nourishing relationships.
It’s this one mystery that is living and manifesting through all of us burning through our eyes like the stars through the vast blanket of the sky. Singing through our voice, crying through our tears, loving through our hearts. Everything belongs to IT, made out of IT. Nothing and no-body-mind-heart is excluded.
