Concentration, Mindfulness and Insight: A ten-day meditation retreat with Shaila Catherine
18/05/2012 to 27/05/2012
Start time:
Friday 00:00
End time:
Sunday 23:59
Led by Shaila Catherine and Sandia Rakefet Bar-Kama.
The retreat will take place in Ein Dor.
Mindfulness with breathing will be the core practice for this silent ten day retreat. Emphasis will be given to the cultivation of calmness, equanimity, and concentration in order to enhance the clarity and power of insight meditation.
Guided by instructions, small group discussions, and individual meetings with the teachers, students can progress in a manner and pace appropriate to each one's needs. Some students may emphasize the development of concentration, seeking to unify consciousness through the deep absorptions called jhana. Other students may emphasize mindfulness of the body, bringing sensitivity to momentary experiences. And others will cultivate insight into the functioning of perception and the nature of mind.
