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.
