About the Retreat
During this weekend retreat, we will explore embodied mindfulness and universal ethical values as part of the 16 Guidelines for Life Program. The 16G program, developed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom, provides a simple, robust and flexible framework for reflecting on the ways we think, act, relate to others and find meaning. The program provides mindfulness-based practical tools to bring about positive change.
By noticing our patterns of thinking, speaking and acting through mindfulness and self-enquiry, we can begin to build inner strength which enables us to break through limiting beliefs, transform our relationships, make better decisions, and find more peace of mind.
Drawing on proven techniques from positive psychology, social justice practices, neuroscience and centuries-old Eastern philosophy, this program offers an ethical, holistic approach to self-improvement and cultural change. As well as meditation there will be interactive activities and relaxed discussion.
What you’ll learn:
- An ethical framework that inspires more purpose in life and deepens experience in mindfulness as an embodied practice.
- Practical tools to build inner strength which will benefit relationships and embrace community
- A fresh perspective on daily life, available choices and actions
- Enhanced capacity for reflection, resulting in more well-being, emotional resilience and creative action
