Fri 8th May (approx. 6 pm) - Sun 10th May (approx. 5 pm)
Buddhist wisdom helps us to see the true nature of reality, allowing us to wake up from our dream of separation.
When we truly see how deeply interwoven we are with all that lives, compassion arises naturally.
Together, these two wings of practice create a balanced approach to life, encouraging us to act with understanding and kindness.
The retreat will be held in Noble Silence and participants will be keeping the Eight Precepts. To find out more about coming on retreat please see here: http://www.sunyatacentre.org/coming-on-retreat-at-sunyata/.
