During this practice weekend, we will focus on the theme of letting go, drawing inspiration from the chapter “Dukkha” in Seeing that Frees. We will explore—and perhaps re-explore—how the mind becomes entangled in a push-and-pull relationship with experience. Patiently and gently, we will relax entanglement while attuning to various levels of experience. As we do so, we will naturally begin to access the ease, flexibility, and stillness that arise when the entanglement with self and world decreases.
The schedule will consist of an optional opening session on Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm UK time (10:00 am to 12:00 pm California time) and on Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 pm UK time (6:00 to 8:00 am California time), and from 6:00 to 8:00 pm UK time (10:00 am to 12:00 pm California time). There will be optional Q&A sessions on Saturday and Sunday, as well as two optional silent practice periods.
The weekend is for those who have some experience with Insight or Samadhi practice as taught by Rob Burbea.
Following the tradition of generosity and support of the community and teachers, the weekend will be given on a Dana basis.
