EVOLVING HEART

next dates TBC

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness… the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man (sic) will have discovered fire.”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Time for Loving Nourishment, Rest and Rejuvenation

This retreat is about EVOLVING HEART and developing Loving Kindness

Silence will support our deep rest and self-nurturing.

Our meditation practice and inquiry will focus on our development and integration of the profound and transformative practices of loving kindness (Metta), within the four divine abodes (Brahma Viharas). Metta is both a generative and calming practice; the fruits of which can be transformative for our lives.

With Yoga, we combine breath, movement, posture and attention to align the body, heart and mind to our purposes. (We will include a celebratory Dharma Dance session towards the end of our retreat.)

Dharma talks and meditation instructions will give us the opportunity to learn, explore and deepen practices in all forms; sitting, standing, moving and lying down.

All activities will be scheduled for support and are optional to allow for individual needs. The retreat is suitable for those new to meditation and yoga practice and those with experience.

Everybody has the opportunity to flourish from these practices…

This retreat will deepen and embed the practice of loving kindness in your being from the inside out.

Practice awareness in your body to open your heart

Awareness or listening
is a doorway to have
the body open, the mind
rest and the heart love

EVOLVING HEART IS A PRACTICE FOR YOUR LIFE

When we are grounded, centred and open-heartedly present to all of who we are, then we can be available for others

Metta is the practice of learning to give and receive love
