Description
In this retreat, we will reflect about right view, ethics, and the place of beauty and pleasure for lay practitioners, while encouraging each participant to find their own way within the secular/religious spectrum of their lives.
Days will combine periods of silent meditation with sharing and discussion. We will offer meditative practices based on the Pali discourses, such as mindfulness of feeling tone and the boundless qualities or brahmavihāras.
In this way, we hope to explore how a pragmatic, contemplative and ethical understanding of the dharma can help us flourish fully as persons and communities in this world.
