A Sanctuary in Uncertainty
In these times of radical change and uncertainty, a new world is being born. Compassionate presence and courage strengthen us to face into the unknown and not turn away. With wisdom, love and determination, we can move forward together to create a world based on justice, kindness and shared resources rather than on greed, hatred and delusion.
The practices of Insight Meditation support our inherent capacity to awaken to wisdom and open heartedness. In recognising our own suffering, and tending to that, we recognise our interconnectedness and see that our personal welfare and happiness, is intimately interwoven with the wellbeing of all.
This silent retreat is suitable for both those new to meditation and those with experience.
