Insight and Awakening: The Liberating Art of Samatha-Vipassana

The ancient invitation of the Buddha was to "Come and see" for yourself the truth of the way things are. Samatha-Vipassana (Calming and Insight) gives you the capacity to calm your restless and scattered mind and gain liberating insight from direct and sustained contact with reality.

In this retreat we will weave together traditional approaches to Samatha-Vipassana practice and a series of body based energy and awareness practices to support you in cultivating tranquility of mind, balance of body and energy, and the capacity to see deeply into the nature of your own mind with wisdom and clarity. The aim of this practice is liberation here and now for the benefit of all beings.
