For women and non-binary mitras in the Triratna Buddhist Community. Led by Singhashri.

The Buddha taught that life includes both suffering AND liberation. In a world racked with suffering, how do we meet ourselves and each other with curiosity, courage and conviction, for our own benefit and the benefit of all beings?

Explore what liberation feels like through an embodied and relational approach to meditation. Together we’ll descend into our moment-by-moment somatic experience of both places of tension, stuckness, or resistance AND sensations of release, softness, and openness.

Collectively we’ll get curious about:

• What supports a sense of safety in the body and helps with nervous system regulation

• Our vision for liberation for ourselves and others and our intentions for practicing

• How our unique social conditioning shows up in our practice and how we relate to what’s happening now

• Embodiment as a radical act

• The role of beauty and joy in opening to ourselves, one another and the world

• How a creative response to fear, grief, shame and anger can support our efforts towards collective liberation

• The co-created and interconnected nature of experience and reality

Through teacher input, guided meditations, individual and group enquiry, group exercises, mindful movement, chanting and ritual, one-to-one practice reviews, and four full days of silence.
