Retreat: The Art of Dying

Zendo @ Lakes centre

Still a few places left for a retreat in the Lake District with Jez Lovekin on surrender to loss and dying. This will be a group-based retreat rather than a traditional sesshin. Jez writes:

“As I see it, we have both the material and the spiritual elements to our lives. The material is one of dualism / gain / form / achievement, and this is how we live our everyday lives. Perfectly normal and nothing wrong with this. The spiritual however, is one of holistic / non-dual / surrendering / emptiness / dying and loss. Nothing wrong with this either. Except we are out of balance and mostly fail to live with loss and dying in our minds.” 

This retreat is about examining surrender and letting go and how it affects us from moment to moment. The requirement is to leave all material behind for five days and this means working in silence (interviews and discussions aside) with no phones, laptops or books. This will be group based and plenty of opportunity to feed back. If this appeals to you sign up. It will be far from grim.
