Please join te Dharma Gaia residents and Sister Shalom for this 5 day silent contemplative retreat from the heart of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings. Possibility to join for the weekend only may also be available
Our practice is simple and yet profound. We come home to our natural state of being; we release old habit energies that do not serve us and cultivate stability, strength, kindness and Insight as the ground of our being.
Silence, stillness and restful contemplation is the ground of this retreat. Attendees will be expected to support the ambience of a tranquil contemplative environment so each person has optimum conditions for their own explorations. Our commitment is to rest deeply within a spacious and gentle schedule of teachings, meditations - walking, sitting, movement, and deep relaxation. There will also be generous space to support body, heart and mind to be nourished through the peace, nature and beauty that is Dharma Gaia.
Places on this retreat are limited to a maximum of 12 people. Attendees will need to be comfortable with autonomy within the retreat schedule and to self-regulate their own exploration and needs for rest and practice.
