Over the course of this retreat we will examine the relationship between the development of a profound form of attention (yoniso manasikāra) leading to a penetrating insight (vipassanā) into the way we are to live our lives. The way that we live our lives can be summed up in the word 'ethics' (sīla) - not as a list of rules, but as a responsiveness to the unfolding and changing dimensions of our lives and our inter-relationships with others, the environment and other beings. For experienced practitioners.

Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PHD and Buddhist minister and teacher Lama Rod Owens will offer guidance in taking steps – both large and small – towards wisdom, spiritual growth, and action when faced with the troubles we collectively experience in the present and inherit from the past.
