About this Event
“Though I do not expect a plant to spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” Henry David Thoreau
Buddhist teachings explore how to nourish and cultivate wholesome seeds of intention, liberating ways of looking, that can connect us directly with our yearning for true happiness.
During uncertain, confusing and frightening times one of our habitual reflexes is to create limiting, separating, or even, polarising narratives, thus perpetuating suffering for others and ourselves.
How can we discover an increasing freedom from our conditioned painful reactions, to allow us to attend to life from a place informed by connection, care and wisdom? We will explore the heart-mind’s capacity for compassion, balanced presence and engagement.There will be periods of sitting and walking meditation, practice suggestions, guided practices, reflections and an opportunity to ask questions. The day will be held in silence.
The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to Kirsten for her teaching. Teachers rely on the generosity of participants for their livelihood. As such, you will be invited to make a voluntary contribution to Kirsten for her guidance and teachings on this day. This contribution is known as Daña, an ancient Pali word for generosity
