Hundreds of thousands of people in the West now practise meditation — but is our practice really helping us when life gets difficult and we need it the most?
This weekend retreat explores the real-world challenges we face when trying to live a spiritual life, especially through the lens of Buddhism — a tradition that often contrasts sharply with our own cultural habits and assumptions.
Misunderstandings, unconscious biases and cultural conditioning can all get in the way of genuine insight and growth and prevent us from going deeper.
For meditational practices to bring real benefit it’s vital for each of us to make personal sense of ideas like wisdom, karma, rebirth, freedom and emotional transformation.
With Dominique’s fresh approach to the topic, you can expect a weekend that will be dynamic and interactive, with opportunities for personal reflection, group dialogue and questions & answers. By questioning what the Buddha taught — and our own ways of thinking — the aspiration is to uncover fresh clarity and confidence in our spiritual path.
