Mindfulness & Meditation retreats also encourage us to tune into our intuition, to attend to that which is pulsing softly within us, under all the noise or numbness. Taoists call it the tranquillity at the centre of all storms—the Tao, what Hindus say the Self or Brahman, and what Buddhists refer to as our Buddha nature, while others say inner spirit or God. Skilful dedication to a yogic path of awareness uncovers this intrinsic inner dimension, teaching us about the suffering inherent in our perceived (not actual) disconnection from wholeness. In inner silence and increased stillness, we often glimpse and learn to sustain a truth larger than our self-definitions allow.
The Yogic path is a gradual process involving self-investigation and daily practice. This helps us become aware of the habits which perpetuate our inner rigidity or chaos, while the long periods spent on retreat, which emphasises meditation, loving-kindness, and continual mindfulness teach us how to sustain a simple and kind presence. Mindfulness & meditation retreats offer us a chance to reset, to see things differently, and go back to our daily lives rejuvenated and in many ways, stronger.
We offer some different opportunities to be “on retreat”.
