We are living in a time of climate chaos, AI, declining trust and frightening uncertainty. As our old cultural narratives are dissolving, we are called to navigate the world differently.

By working with these four meditations:
• Contemplation of the Body
• Recollection of the Buddha
• Metta Meditation
• Refection on Death,
we are facing the limitations of human life on a fnite planet, while acquainting ourselves with its highest potential for awakening. These practices protect us from getting lost in hopes and fears, supporting us to outgrow human-centric stories of mastery and thereby weaving ourselves back into the fabric of life.

At an evolutionary threshold like this the Buddha’s teachings are a formidable anchor to keep us grounded while our world is moving, and we are forced to move with it.

Partial attendance is not offered on this retreat. Additionally, please consider attending this retreat only if your current life circumstances allow you to engage in an important modern renunciation practice of staying offline and off phone/text during the entire course of the retreat (some exceptions related to pressing family situations may be granted.)
