From Calm to Clarity

Join us for this practice retreat with a special focus on deeply understanding the Buddhist view of the nature of reality.

The Buddha said that the main cause of suffering, stress and the difficulties we experience in our life, is ignorance – not knowing the nature of reality. So what helps to alleviate suffering is to have a more accurate understanding and experience of how things truly are.

Whether we are beginners on the Buddhist path, or experienced dharma practitioners, it can be so helpful to deeply reflect on how we see ourselves and the world, how we relate to everything that happens in our life and how we can bring out the view, which is at the heart of our practice.

We will approach the view of the nature of reality step by step, going through the stages of impermanence, interdependence and emptiness.

This will be a practice retreat and not heavily focused on theory and intellectual elaborations, but more on meditation and contemplation.

Location

The retreat will be held in our clifftop shrine room, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular ocean views.

Vegetarian lunches and evening meals are provided as part of your fee.
