Introduction
Retreats are precious gifts we can offer ourselves. They are a great way to deepen our path of practice in a safe and supportive environment. Away from distractions and the business of daily lives, temporarily retreated from habitual relationships and devices, the mind and heart has the potential to find peace, healing and freedom. Regular retreat practice supports daily life practice and it supports our engagement in the world from a place of balance and wisdom.
Courses allow for delving deeper into specific practice themes such as the topic of emotions, engaging in an ongoing exploration and putting insights into practice. There is the opportunity to share experiences in a held space, to ask questions and to try out new ways of relating.
