Retreat 27 May to 2 June, Normandie, France

With Marie Androv and Thierry Cardoso

The retreat is taught in English. Limited places.

About the retreat

This retreat is dedicated to reconnecting to your tender awareness. That tenderness towards yourself and others which frees the spontaneity, creativity, compassion and joy. That is so easily lost in our speedy world, when we are stuck in chronic stress, fear, reactivity, the power of desire, thought, emotions, physical pain. Stuckness that feeds shame, blame and lashing out. That makes us say and do things that go against our intention and core values.

By cultivating inner stillness, practicing to quieting our mind and activating our care system, we more easily can reconnect to ourselves and access our tender awareness.

The teachings are based on insight meditation by our teachers Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and integrate mindfulness and compassion practices. We cultivate awareness and tenderness towards ourselves and others, insight and inner guidance through meditation, reflection and inquiry.
