Non-dual Effortless Mindfulness: Afternoon Retreat
Saturday, December 6
2-4:30PM
$30
This afternoon retreat presents the philosophy and practice of pointing-out practices, a Tibetan-inspired non-dual meditation series that guides us to experience Awake Awareness. These practices are accompanied by sustainable compassion practices, introducing us to the warmth and love that are always already there. These complementary practices allow us to find the deepest refuge and also be fully engaged in our lives.
These effortless, non-dual mindfulness practices are inspired by ancient Mahamudra and Dzogchen practices. In a step-by-step way, these practices led from full-body awareness to concentration practices to emptiness practices, gradually crossing into awake, natural, loving awareness. As wisdom and compassion are the two wings that allow a bird to fly, wisdom practices will be balanced with sustainable compassion practices. Even though the goal of these practices is deeper and deeper levels of awareness and compassion, we address how to bring these practices into everyday life engagement and loving presence.
Participants will gain access to the experience of awake awareness, which allows them access to the qualities of spaciousness, ease, effortlessness, wisdom, natural compassion and warmth. Participants will leave with a foundation that points to ways to not only glimpse, but fully experience that quality of awake, effortless, natural awareness.
