In-person: Cultivating Right Effort – A Qigong and Insight Meditation Retreat with Mimi Kuo-Deemer

This event is now fully booked. If you wish to go on a waiting list and be contacted if a place becomes available, please click here and enter your details.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Right effort is at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings. It’s called sammā vāyāma, which is part of the 8 Fold Path. It arises through awareness, embodiment and receptivity— qualities the Buddha described as helping us learn to choose kindness and compassion over hostility and ill-will.  Finding right effort can be tricky; too much effort and we feel depleted, not enough and we lack the motivation to choose. 

Using the Chinese energy-based practices of qigong, we will explore how we can embody right effort through intention-led movement, and translate this into deeper meditative awareness.  When we cultivate these qualities, we can open to a radical way of seeing reality that calms the mind and frees the heart.  

No prior qigong or meditation experience is required.
