Delight the Natural Heart with Robin Craig

The qualities of the Brahmavihāras – Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity – can be developed in a way that is accessible and heart opening. Yet at times the practices to develop these qualities can feel dry and disconnected. In this Buddhist based retreat informed by the biological understandings of Organic Intelligence® we will explore these Brahmavihāras (divine abodes) outside in connection with place, with human and other-than-human nature.

This retreat integrates practice into walking, standing, sitting, lying down or however the body is disposed. There will be daily dharma talks, meditation guidance, small group practice discussions, and Question and Response time.

While this retreat will be held mostly in silence, there will be time at the beginning and ending of the retreat to intentionally connect with other retreatants. During the retreat, you will be asked to refrain from using cell phones, computers or accessing the internet in order to fully engage with the experience.
