Open Heart Meditation Retreat

May 24, 2017 - May 28, 2017

Open your heart to the fierce power of vulnerability

One could say that the point of spiritual practice is to open one’s heart. Yet we struggle to come to terms with this. It is so much easier to study gentleness and courage than it is to practice them because our world has conditioned us to believe that when we open our heart, we risk tremendous sorrow and pain. As we keep the tenderest part of ourselves hidden, we constantly fail to recognise it also holds the key to our vital energy: our heart is also where love, creativity, and magic reside.

During this program, we will examine what keeps our hearts closed – in relationships, towards life, and most of all, toward ourselves. We will learn how to make friends with our emotions, not to judge, improve, or transform them, but simply to feel and be with them in a dignified way. As we become unafraid of our darker, sweeter, and more piercing emotions, we can learn to embrace them and discover an incredible source of power, which is unreachable without walking through vulnerability.
