Residential Retreat with Adrianne Ross, Sally and Guy Armstrong
Bethlehem Retreat Centre, Nanaimo, BC
In this silent retreat for experienced students, we will explore the nature of awareness, or consciousness, which is at the heart of sentient life. Awareness is always with us, revealing the phenomena of our experience, yet we may not have learned how to use it as a focus in meditation. As we deepen our connection to and understanding of this mysterious capacity for knowing, it becomes a powerful pathway to inner freedom and liberation. There will be periods of sitting and walking practice and individual practice discussion meetings with teachers.
