Éveiller la nature du Bouddha

Et si ce que nous cherchons à devenir était déjà là, au cœur de notre expérience ?
La tradition bouddhiste parle de la nature de Bouddha pour désigner cette dimension de notre être qui est naturellement ouverte, éveillée et libre. Elle ne demande pas à être créée, mais plutôt reconnue, même à travers la voile de nos peurs, nos habitudes et nos conditionnements.

Ce retraite est une invitation à nous tourner vers cette nature profonde et à découvrir ce qui se révèle lorsque nous cessons de vouloir devenir quelqu’un d’autre et commençons à habiter pleinement ce que nous sommes.
Ensemble, nous nous demanderons : qu’est-ce qui fait obstacle à notre liberté naturelle ? Qu’est-ce qui permet l’epanouissement du coeur ? Et que devient notre vie lorsque nous faisons davantage confiance à cette sagesse éveillée qui est déjà en nous ?
(Cette retraite répond aux critères requis pour les instructeurs de pleine conscience en formation.)

Breadth and Depth
A 13 day retreat for experienced practitioners

This is Martin’s 10th annual 2 week retreat for experienced meditators (those who have already sat silent meditation retreats).
The retreat goes deeply into core dharma teachings on the nature of mind, and how they underpin meditative practice and experience, as well as exploring their integration into the various dimensions of a liberated life.

The first 10 days will emphasise sustained, silent meditation, both in group form and with time for individual practice, including private meetings for each student with Martin. The last 3 days will also include relational and dialogic practices, and the retreat will include ritual elements such as chanting and bowing.

(This retreat conforms to the criteria necessary for Mindfulness Instructors in Training)

Earth Below and Sky Above: A Meditation and Qigong Retreat

Aug 9-15 ENG
Martin Aylward and Mimi Kuo-Deemer

DESCRIPTION:
Qigong is a Chinese energy-cultivation practice with Daoist and Buddhist roots, using slow, circular, fluid movements to awaken us to the matrix and flow of life within and around us. It cultivates physical spaciousness and ease, while deepening our embodied presence.

In this retreat, Martin Aylward and Mimi Kuo-Deemer weave together their complementary approaches to meditation, Dharma, embodiment and movement. Mimi will guide Qigong practices that invite us into a more vital, grounded and responsive relationship with life, and Martin will offer meditation instruction, Dharma teachings and explorations of body, heart, mind and reality.

Together, they point to greater wisdom and ease and freedom of heart. The retreat will include silent and guided meditation and movement practices, teachings, discussion and inquiry, and opportunities to meet with the teachers. No Prior experience of either practice is necessary.

(This retreat will be held in silence. It conforms to the criteria necessary for Mindfulness Instructors in Training)
