Have you ever felt an emotion so uncomfortable that all you wanted was for it to disappear \u2014 held onto one so tightly that it never had room to move \u2014 or quietly wished you could feel some other way?<\/p>\n
Emotions are part of life, yet we so rarely meet them directly. More often, we struggle against them, or against ourselves. What happens when we stop struggling against what is here \u2014 and begin to truly come home to ourselves?<\/p>\n
In this retreat, we will practice meeting our immediate experience more directly. We will come into the body, become aware of what is present, and explore an approach from the Tibetan Buddhist teachings that invites us to meet even difficult emotions with presence and openness. Gradually, a natural sense of clarity and freedom can unfold, along with a more compassionate connection to ourselves and others.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the retreat offers an opportunity to come together with like-minded people and celebrate the beginning of the new year. Through teachings and exchange, meditation and silence, and shared practice, we can deepen our connection to the Dharma and the Sangha and draw strength together for the year ahead.<\/p>\n
We warmly invite you to come to Berlin and experience this special beginning to the new year together in person. Personal connection will be at the heart of the retreat. For this reason, it will not be possible to participate in the entire retreat online. We are, however, exploring whether special sessions can also be offered online.<\/p>\n
