sue_cooper"This retreat, facilitated by a clinical psychologist, draws on the Buddhist truth of Impermanence and explores ways to integrate change and loss in our lives. In a nurturing atmosphere of Noble Silence, we will experience a combination of meditation and psychotherapy, to deepen our experience of the ways in which meditation and the wisdom of Buddhist psychology can facilitate our healing and understanding of one of the biggest challenges we all face in life, namely the inevitability of change and loss. The entire retreat is held in silence, apart from individual interviews and analytic reflection and dialogue, and will include daily sessions of Ch’i Kung movement meditation, as well as silent walks, to enhance the integration of body, heart and mind.
