‘Nature, Love & Embodiment’ -
A silent meditation retreat, with Robyn Gibson & Louise Taylor
Friday 10th January - Friday 17th January 2025
Dorje Ling Retreat Centre, 1078 Lorinna Road, Lorinna, Tasmania
Buddhist teachings offer two wings of practice – serenity and insight – that allow us to cultivate an open, receptive heart and a radiant, clear-seeing mind. Cultivating both wings is necessary for mature understanding, for without serenity, insight is dry and brittle, without heart; and without insight, serenity is vague, without intelligence.
In this seven-day retreat, we will explore ways of attending to these wings of practice through the body, heart and mind, to help develop clear seeing and kindness, and foster our direct flight towards freedom.
Over the days, we will weave our way between stillness and movement, practice workshops, dharma talks, and quiet time in the wild natural setting of Dorje Ling Retreat Centre, nestled in beautiful and secluded Lorinna Valley in the heart of Tasmania, in mountains not far from the Cradle Mountain World Heritage Park.
The retreat will be held in silence, with opportunity for discussion and questions each day, and personal interviews with the teachers. The retreat is suitable for beginning and more experienced meditators.
