The Art of Breathing Live Online Weekend Retreat - starts tomorrow
|
Dear Reader, This is a just a quick reminder about the Art of Breathing intensive online weekend retreat starting tomorrow morning. This starts the beginning in the series of online programmes exploring the development of concentration. “The Art of Breathing: A Doorway to Higher Concentration”Live Date: Saturday 5th - Sunday 6th October 2024 During this weekend I will be exploring the practice of Anapana (meditation on the breath) and teaching how to develop this practice to train both deep levels of sustained concentration and serenity, as well as how to practice to train focus concentration and mental flexibility and wieldiness. This single meditation can be developed as an entire mind gym in which to train and hone a wide range of important mental faculties. This intensive weekend retreat can be followed as a stand alone experience, or can be used as preparatory work for our curated journey into developing The Art of Concentration starting in mid-November. Burgs will be hosting the live broadcasts on both weekends. Your registration gives you access to both weekends that this course is broadcast.
