“NURTURING THE SEVEN QUALITIES OF AN AWAKENED HEART”
With Rebecca Bradshaw, Insight Meditation Society,
Assisted by Milena Cardenas Ophuls
Seven beautiful qualities of heart and mind are strengthened through our meditation practice, increasing our capacity to be present and to develop wisdom and compassion. Mindfulness, investigation, energy, joyous interest, calm, concentration, and equanimity nurture the heart/mind with the courage and depth needed to awaken. Our retreat will take place in the warmth of springtime and with the support of community. Rebecca Bradshaw and Milena Cardenas Ophuls will provide instruction and guidance in exploring these seven supports for awakening, including metta (loving kindness) practice and mindful movement. This seven-day retreat (and three-day option) will be held in silence with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation. Each day includes guided Vipassana and loving kindness practice, an evening dharma talk, and opportunities to meet with the teacher. Students are encouraged to consider the seven-day option, which offers an opportunity for a greater deepening of practice
