Weekend Meditation Retreat "Meeting Impermanence" with Metta from Germany

Saturday, February 17th - Sunday, February 18th, 2018

We all are vulnerable to change and yet we all experience it again and again. How we can go beyond the fear of our vulnerability, the complacencies we have put into place? What could help and lead us to see the reality of our existence?

We will use these facts of life as an approach to more honesty and integrity in regards to our experience, our existence in this, here and now.

We actually might see that there is more to discover about life and these processes. Let's look together how can we practise the awareness of change in our meditation, our daily experiences.
