Cost
Because the Buddha's teachings are considered to be priceless, and in keeping with the teachings and spirit of generosity or dana, this retreat is freely offered. Donations are welcomed.
There will be two dana baskets set out at the retreat. One basket will be for you to offer dana for the teacher and a separate basket for organizational costs incurred by Victoria IMS. The suggested donation for organizational costs for this two-day event is $40. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Awakening and Forgetting
A Study and Meditation Retreat
with
Christina Feldman
This retreat is now full
Through this two-day retreat, Christina will reflect on the qualities that support an awakened and dignified life and the factors that undermine that quest. Or put another way, this retreat will be a contemplation on the creative tension between the hindrances and the Seven Limbs of Awakening.
This will be a study practice weekend with a large teaching element to it. There will be periods of formal practice, periods of extended teaching and also time for questions and reflections. The weekend will be held in a background of silence.
Christina Feldman is a co-founder of Gaia House in England. She has been leading Insight Meditation retreats worldwide since 1976 and is a Guiding Teacher of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. Christina is the author of a number of books including 'Women Awake', 'Way of Meditation', 'The Buddhist Path to Simplicity' and co-author of 'Soul Food'. Her most recent book is 'Boundless Heart - The Buddha's Path of Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity'.
