Cultivating Wellbeing, Ease and Freedom
With Zohar Lavie
20th May 2023
The practice of Insight Meditation helps us to connect with what is happening in our own hearts and minds and to sense our innate potential for wisdom, love, openness and freedom. On this day retreat we will deepen understanding of how suffering is conditioned, and how wellbeing is nourished. Through attending to our own heart and mind with care and wisdom, possibilities of freedom open up. We will explore ways to creatively respond to the patterns, habits and obstacles that appear to obscure freedom. The day will include meditation instructions, teachings and time for questions.
The day will be held in silence, all levels of experience welcome.
Zohar Lavie: has been practising meditation in different traditions since 1995. This journey has taken her from the meditation cushion into exploring further ways of expressing truth and love and in 2004 she co-founded SanghaSeva. She now spends most of her time facilitating retreats that offer service as a spiritual path around the world. Since 2006 she has been teaching on silent retreats and Dharma gatherings in India, Europe and Israel.
