Inclining the mind towards freedom

A year-long experiment in non-dual awareness and love
With Timothea Goddard

Connection | Continuity | Community

The call for genuine wisdom and grounded presence has never been stronger. Join Timothea Goddard, Australia's pioneering mindfulness teacher and founder of Openground, for an extraordinary year-long journey of discovery and transformation.

Why join this exploration of non-dual mindfulness?

Awareness is basic to how our organism works. It is spontaneously happening all the time.  But so often we are highjacked by the contents of our awareness – our chattering thoughts, our strong emotions, and our focus on the outside to provide our happiness. In this series, we will be opening to our innate capacity to rest in awareness – an awareness that is open hearted, clear, honest and deeply restorative.  

 When we shift out of our conventional way of knowing ourselves – our protective identity – we can step into a powerful gap of fresh, non-conceptual experience.  And start living from there, just how we are – able to allow, connect and metabolize all experience and to act in the world with more care and spontaneity.  

"Timothea has this remarkable ability to make ancient wisdom completely relevant to modern life. Her teaching changed how I navigate both my personal and professional worlds."
- MBSR Graduate

"These sessions go far beyond standard mindfulness training. Timothea brings decades of wisdom and a deeply practical approach that has helped me find genuine stability in my moments of madness."
– Urban Retreat  participant

"The way Timothea teaches makes profound concepts accessible and applicable. Every session leaves me with practical insights I can actually use."

Themes for each half day-retreat

  1. Finding your ground in volatile times: the embrace of the sensory world  
  2. The Body as Process: dissolving separation
  3. Equanimity: riding the waves of feeling tone  
  4. The Mind as Process: a great mystery  
  5. Emotion as Life: becoming more fluent in responding
  6. Living in Space: loosening up our identifications        
  7. Compassion: the only sane response
  8. Aging and death: embracing change
  9. Choice and Response-ability: getting friendly with consequences
  10. The Wide View: what now? 

Each half-day retreat we will dive deep into a playpen of ideas, tools, literature, embodied understandings and practice.  While each session stands alone, together they weave a pragmatic, transformative journey of growth and understanding that can support you in strengthening your wisdom and care for yourself and the world over the year.
