Dathün – FIRST TWO WEEKS
Register here if you would like to join this month-long meditation retreat for the first two weeks only. Open to all.
A dathün is a month-long meditation retreat where we have the time to be with ourselves, touch our basic humanity and make friends with the simple reality of just being, without the need for further embellishment. We can fully experience what it means to be alive, and just be who we are. In this way, we nourish the friendship with ourselves and discover the wisdom of our living existence. To just be is a precious opportunity in our busy lives, a gift that we can give ourselves.
Teaching Team
This retreat will be taught by an international team: Anne von der Eltz (Germany), Peter Nowak (Austria), Sylvie Deraime (France) and Toni Imfeld (Switzerland).
Program Content
Over these two weeks, we will explore thoughts from the Hinayana teachings of how to be present. According to the Buddha we are naturally wakeful. From this point of view, awareness is not a struggle but our natural state of being that we can find in the midst of our confusion and uncertainty.
During the whole programme, the sitting practice of meditation will be our stabilizing main practice.
However, we will also have
- other mindfulness and awareness practices
- Walking meditation
- Silence practice
- Experiential exercises
- Mindful eating practice
- Body exercises
as well as
- One on one meditation instruction
- Talks by senior teachers
- Study periods
For beginners as well as advanced practitioners, this programme will be a powerful experience, regardless of your age or stage in life.
