Change: In Us & Around Us
An Introduction to Insight Meditation
Join Roxanne Dault for an exploration of change and learn to navigate the changes within and around us. We’ll learn about the unfolding that creates all experience, and gain insight into the internal and external conditions that shape our experience. Through practice, we may come to recognize that we are part of a natural and organic process, and that process is all around us, and entirely within us.
The countless processes of the body and the seemingly unending number of thoughts that emerge from the mind can be witnessed for what they are; an ever-present reminder that everything is changing, all of the time. For many, the consistent experience of variability and change can be confusing, overwhelming, and even scary.
As we learn to meditate, we can more easily bear witness to our experience and observe the true nature of these fluctuating phenomena and our human experience. Eventually, we may learn to see the beauty and harmony of impermanence, and the value of ongoing transformation. Ultimately, by noticing and embracing change, knowledge, wisdom, peace, and stability can take root in our hearts.
This retreat includes 3 meditations with guided instructions, a Dharma talk, a metta practice, and a suggested schedule. This framework can be integrated into your daily practice or sprinkled throughout the days to come, giving you the opportunity to shape your practice as you wish. The retreat is open to both beginning and experienced meditators.
