Details
We often organise our lives around money, security or control—while love, meaning, and wisdom fall to one side.
On this retreat, we’ll place what matters most back where it belongs. Together will Enter the Mandala – or sacred circle – of Awakening. A mandala is a symbolic map of life that places total liberation of mind at the heart of life. Through systematic application of core Buddhist teachings, we’ll learn how to re-vision existence in terms of our deepest values.
If you’ve learned a range of practices—mindfulness, metta, just sitting, reflection, ethics, puja—you may still wonder how they all fit together.
On this retreat, we’ll show how these elements form a complete, step-by-step path to Awakening.
