True Connection: mindfulness in relationship with others
With Anna Bendijk and Walter Young
Sunday 7th May 2023 11am – 5pm
Knott Memorial Hall
The Towne Gate, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Newcastle upon Tyne NE15 0DT
In this one-day retreat, we will offer teachings, guided meditations and the opportunity to learn about mindful communication with others through the practice of Insight Dialogue. We will explore what it means to be in full conscious relationship with another person.
When we bring our mindful presence into any interaction, we start to relate to others in a much more conscious, open way. Instead of simply seeing a reflection of our own habit patterns and conditioning, we experience the other person in all of their unique richness.
Insight Dialogue helps us to bring our mindful presence into any relationship. This practice involves pausing, listening, tuning in and honouring, so that we can receive the other person without judgement, fully open and aware. We really start to see them and in doing so, we discover missing qualities in ourselves, recognising our connection to everyone and everything.
Cost: the suggested donation for the retreat is £30-£50, depending on your means.
