Mindfulness Meditation, also known as Insight or Vipassana Meditation, is a simple technique which has been practised in Asia for over 2,500 years. The practice is open and accessible to people of any or no religious affiliation. Mindfulness means learning to pay attention intentionally, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to become familiar with the workings of your mind.
The day will provide an opportunity for sustained meditation, supported by an atmosphere of silence. The retreat is suitable for beginners as well as those with experience of meditation practice. Guidance will be given and there will be talks, as well as the opportunity to ask questions.
Teacher:
- Paul Burrows, associated with Gaia House in Devon, has been a student of both Asian and senior western Dharma teachers since 2000. He began leading retreats in the Insight Meditation tradition in 2007. His teachings and practice emphasise connecting with others.
