Insight meditation one-day retreat

Emptiness and the flow of life with Anna Brown and Walter Young

Sunday 21st January 2024 11am – 4pm

Knott Memorial Hall, Heddon-on-the- Wall NE15 0DT

We’re constantly weaving and constructing a sense of self, repairing it and adding to it. A great deal of time and energy can go into maintaining our sense of who we are.

Seeing through the illusion of a fixed self changes everything. Freedom and a profound sense of ease are available to us once we learn to see past the stories and constructions that weigh us down. Instead of constantly resisting our true nature and reacting to every thought and feeling that arises, we can enter the flow of life and learn to live fearlessly, knowing that we belong completely.

Learning to see the world differently can be transformative. This day retreat is not about getting rid of the ego or even trying to become a better person. Instead, we will practise an embodied approach to living joyfully in an unstable world.

Together, we will explore freedom and joy through the lens of Buddhist teachings on emptiness and dependent origination. There will be guided meditation and teaching, with some of the day spent in silence.
