Led by Singhashri, Padmasurya and Paravabodhi in collaboration with the Stockholm Buddhist Centre.

This retreat is for people with at least six months meditation experience who are familiar with Triratna meditation practices and ritual.

When Sangharakshita was asked how one should practice Just Sitting he responded, “you just sit.”

The simplicity of this response points to the radical nature of this practice.  Just sitting is an invitation to learn to trust in awareness more and more deeply as our natural state.

On this retreat, we’ll explore different ways to support our bodies and minds to open to the limitless potential of our deepest nature and inherent qualities like love, sensitivity, and connection — so desperately needed in our world. 

The retreat will include teacher input, guided meditations and movement, group discussions and exercises, rituals and periods of silence.
