Retreat Title: Embodying Love
Led by Led by Rijumitra and Balajit
Metta is such a vital, indispensable quality of our humanity - an openness to and
love of life in all its forms, which spontaneously manifests as compassion and joy.
Yet, oddly, metta bhavana can sometimes seem to end up being a very ‘heady’
and dry meditation, even if, as well as the traditional phrases, we use ‘imaginative
techniques’. Maybe especially so, as images are still essentially concepts. Many
of us would benefit from giving our metta practice fresh inspiration or even a
complete re-boot - but how?
What we’re going to be offering in this retreat is an opening to metta as a quality of our body, heart and being - literally embodying love. Becoming and being truly embodied is not just a preliminary practice, but integral to the whole path, including cultivating metta. We’ll not only work with the body perspective, but explore more playful and flexible approaches to metta outside of the five-stage approach.
This retreat is suitable for people who have been meditating for at least 3 years
