Awakening the Heart – Through Training the Mind

Awakening the Heart – Through Training the Mind

In this retreat of Insight Meditation (Vipassana), we will bring mindful attention to the breath, body, heart and mind. Instruction will follow the traditional Four Foundations of mindfulness, combined with training in Lovingkindness and compassion, through a daily schedule of silent sitting, walking, Dharma talks and interviews.
