Jhanas and Insights
This retreat will emphasise the application of the Jhanas (Meditative Absorptions) in a regular sitting practice and is suitable only for experienced meditators with prior retreat experience. The Jhanas are a method of one-pointed concentration taught in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition. The retreat will focus on the teaching of this technique and will be held in Noble Silence with sitting and walking meditation and personal interviews.
