SUMMARY:Take a Break
DESCRIPTION:“What is this life\, if full of care\, \nWe have no time to stand and stare?” \nLeisure\, W.H. Davies \nOur Christmas/New Year retreat will be a chance to leave aside the stresses and busyness of city and town and spend time getting in touch with the natural world\, the elements as well as our inner world of light and shade. In other words\, give yourself a break! \nWe will have a light touch program that combines some exercises from the Tara Rokpa elements program with instructions in mindfulness and awareness. A chance for leisure and as the poet says ‘time to stand and stare. And sit quietly! Time to explore our life priorities and set the compass for the new year. \nFacilitated by Dónal Creedon and Pippa Cope \nStructure\nIt is preferable that you attend from the start date\, but you are welcome to come for part thereof or the entire 10 days. \nAbout Dónal Creedon\nDónal Creedon is a Buddhist meditation teacher with many years of experience\, loved and deeply appreciated for his warmth\, openness\, and sincerity. He studied and practiced with Buddhist masters of the Kagyu practice lineage in Europe as well as in India and Nepal. This involved many years of intense retreat. Dónal also spent a number of years at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi as resident Buddhist scholar. Thus the radical inquiry of Krishnamurti informs his approach. \nAbout Pippa Cope\nPippa Cope offers mindful movement\, including somatics and Donna Farhi-inspired yoga. She has been involved with the Tara Rokpa Therapy process for 20 years as a senior helper in South Africa and Zimbabwe and has offered workshops in Canada.
