5-Day Online Retreat: Mindfulness and Compassion Intensive

May 21, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - May 25, 2023 @ 8:30 pm BST

£275

Join Breathworks Founders Vidyamala Burch and Sona Fricker for a 5-day online meditation retreat to deepen your mindfulness and compassion practice.

Experienced meditators Vidyamala and Sona will explore how we can work with our minds and hearts to move towards greater expansiveness, love and freedom.

This retreat will revisit and go deeper into similar themes explored in their popular Mystery of Awakening retreat held in December.

Across the retreat you will learn how to:

– Let go of ‘sticky’ reactive states of mind that keep us stuck
– Experience the freedom that arises with ever-increasing experiences of openness and love
– Explore wisdom traditions and how they relate to modern-day life

Vidyamala and Sona will also unpack an ‘energetic arc’ of awakening which includes becoming more mindful and present, getting to know experience, learning to release tight and contracted states and opening to increasing levels of bliss, absorption and equanimity.

They will also unpack ways to work with all the habits and tendencies which prevent this kind of opening. This includes mental and emotional states such as anxiety and restlessness, a dull mind and body, getting caught in loops of craving and ill-will and doubt.

There will be opportunities for Q&A with the Retreat Leaders and chances to talk about your meditation experiences over the retreat with retreat assistants.

WHAT WILL I GAIN FROM ATTENDING?
– Experience an intensive meditation retreat from the comfort of your own home
– Learn from experienced mindfulness leaders
– Learn what it means to experience greater expansiveness, love and freedom
– Connect with other meditators around the world online

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?
This retreat is for those who have been meditating for at least 6 months.
