Residential retreat at Gaia House, UK
Thursday 5 June – Thursday 12 June (7 nights)
With Catherine McGee and Juha Penttilä assisted by Monica Antunes
With our bodies as home base and emptiness as our ground, we will cultivate the four Brahmaviharas, beautiful qualities of the heart: kindness, joy, compassion and equanimity. Loosening the views and the limiting patterns of mind, and engaging the liberating gifts of our imaginations, we will deepen our capacity to rest in the boundless heart.
And from here, we will venture, engaging in contemplative ways of looking to explore a soulful and enchanted cosmos. A cosmos in which our particularities are needed, loved and woven into a sacred and meaningful story.
How does this retreat relate to Soulmaking Dharma teachings?
‘The Eye of the Heart’ commences as a Brahma Viharas retreat. From here, the Soulmaking Dharma approaches and practices will be explored. It is therefore suitable for students who may already be deeply involved with Soulmaking teachings and also for those who may not be deeply involved but who have an informed affinity for this body of work.
