The Seven Factors of Awakening
Once we have the basics of a mindfulness practice under our belts, it can become important to begin working with our selves in a more nuanced and sustained way through the practice and it’s application in life. The instructions for this are found in the 4th foundation of mindfulness. In the first three foundations, we learn how to explore the body, hedonic tone and mind-states. The 4th foundation of mindfulness invites us more deeply in to the logic of Buddhist psychology.
Join Tim in this first of a series of Urban Retreats drawn from the 4th Foundation – to explore the seven factors of awakening and how to begin to be a little more active in your practice.
The path of mindfulness - getting friendly with our thoughts and emotions
When: 29th August, 2021
Time: 9 am - 1 pm (AEST)
With: Timothea Goddard live online
The path of mindfulness -
Getting friendly with our thoughts and emotions
- theory to provide direction, understanding and clarity, and
- pragmatic user-friendly practices and exercises to apply in daily life and in your practice.
We want to be inclusive, but this day of practice will suit people with some experience and knowledge of mindfulness practice - for example like the learning that happens in an eight-week program. So if you have some experience of practice - do feel free to register (even if you haven't done MBSR, MBCT or MiCBT.) If you haven't done any mindfulness training yet, have a look at the MBSR page to find a course near you. This will be a better fit, than leaping into a retreat day.
Some feedback from our first online retreat:
"A week has gone by since your life-enhancing retreat. I am so impressed that you made it feel like a real retreat, with all the important elements, even the personal conversations. I love all your mindfulness of body practices which combine elements of other fine traditions to create a dynamic experience of moving and stretching, which the body adores. The whole day created a wonderful sense of peacefulness and spaciousness, in the midst of all that is happening globally."
"Gratitude Tim, and everyone, This is lovely. Feels very grounding, and the weirdness is offset by seeing your familiar face and hearing your voice."
"I got so much out of the day. I’m surprised myself. Once I got over the feeling of sadness of missing being in a retreat together with the warmth & connectedness that comes with that, I realised how much is the same - a warm and engaging host, great content, familiar teachings from my previous MBSR courses - there is a warmth and connectedness that comes with those things."
