About the Event

VIPASHYANA RETREAT : EMPTINESS 

During this two day retreat we will be applying mindfulness to gain insights into ourselves and the world of our experience. In Buddhism this is often referred to as vipashyana practice. This retreat will focus on the insight into emptiness. This enables us to overcome our distorted view of grasping to things as existing independently. 

The retreat will focus on two approaches to this practice: 

1. emptiness of person 

2. nature of the mind
