Community |
Meditation is an act of deep, warm friendship. Jon Kabat Zinn has
described Meditation as an act of "radical love". By attending and
befriending ourselves - no matter how we feel, no matter what is
happening in our lives - we can create the conditions for a more
joyful life and rediscover our natural connection to joy

Joy |
Time spent in retreat allows us to step out of the complexity and
demands of our lives, to listen deeply to our body, heart and mind and
to find a freedom of heart in the midst of all things. Together, we
take the time to practice finding stillness in our busy lives and
learn to sit with ourselves.

Joy helps us to be more fully present to life and it also gives us the
motivation and the strength we need to embrace and transform our
suffering. Research shows that regularly experiencing joy - whether in
the form of laughter or of activities that promote happiness and
well-being - can produce healthy changes throughout the body.
