THE DIRECT PATH TO FREEDOM: MINDFULNESS OF THE BODY AND FEELING TONE

Gullu Singh, Louije Kim & Gabrielle Hammond (Qi Gong)

Saturday, July 20, 2024 10:00 am – 2:00pm Pacific Time
Registration closes July 19, 2024 at 11:59pm Pacific Time

Gullu Singh, Louije Kim and Gabrielle Hammond will also offer an in person full retreat expanding on this topic. All are invited to attend that retreat as well at Big Bear Retreat Center. The Direct Path to Freedom, Sept. 14 – 19, 2024

In this online retreat we’ll start to work with the Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness of the body and mindfulness of Vedanā (feeling tone). The Buddha describes mindfulness as “the direct path to the purification of beings, the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of suffering and discontent” and the realization of peace.

This retreat will also offer one session of qigong using slow guided movements that help metabolize areas of resistance and hindrances that can arise on retreat. These movements are safe, gentle, and oriented toward the healing aspect of the body and heart. There are many options for participation by all bodies and all states of ability.

The retreat will be mostly held in noble silence with a chance for some questions and dialog at the end.
