Retreat Dharma Talks at Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC

2015 IMCW Spring Retreat: Intimacy with Life

Vipassana, or Buddhist Meditation, is a way of opening to life and seeing clearly the totality of one’s being and experience. The practice is based on cultivating a present-centered mindfulness, leading to an unfolding of our natural wisdom and compassion. The focus of this retreat is to enhance intimacy with ourselves and the world. In order to help participants discover a sense of stillness and deep listening, silence will be maintained throughout the retreat except during question/answer periods and interviews with the teachers. In addition to sitting and walking meditation practice, there will be sessions of mindful movement led each day.

Jonathan Foust
This talk explores how body-centered awareness reveals your true nature. You’ll learn how sensing through the lens of the body cultivates present-moment awareness and is a portal to see into the nature of change, the nature of suffering and into the nature of the self.

2015-04-20 Loving Yourself into Freedom 61:00
Tara Brach
The most basic truths we forget, and one is this - if we don't love ourselves, we can't love life.  In the most basic way, attending to and embracing our inner life reveals the nature of reality. This talk looks at the genesis of self-aversions and several pathways that open us to the loving presence that is our source.
