The Richness of LifeWisdom teachings encourage us to look deeply and with love into our experience, with all its complexities, challenges and contradictions. When we approach our existence with kindness and courage, the limitless potential of the human heart is gradually unveiled. We can begin to discover our innate potential for wisdom, compassion, openness, care and joy. There may be liberating insights, small and big, into how we can relate to life in more skilful, compassionate, fearless and creative ways. During our time together we will explore how to inhabit, embody and honour our insights and understanding and thus to align more fully with what we hold dear and feel passionate about.
There will be instructions for sitting and walking meditations (which typically last no longer than 40 minutes), guided practices and reflections and opportunities to meet with Kirsten.
The retreat will be held in companionable silence, including during the lunchtime. Chairs, mats, meditation cushions and hot drinks will be available. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
You can attend this event in-person and online.

Her love and understanding of Dharma has been strongly influenced by, among others, the teachings of her friend and teacher colleague, Rob Burbea.
