Dharma Training Programme (Scotland) – Earthing our Practice

Dharma Training Programme Retreat Scotland
EARTHING OUR PRACTICE
20-23 October 2022

Join us at Kilgraston School for the Scottish Dharma Training Programme retreat for 2022 with Dharma teachers Martin Pitt and Susanne Olbrich.

This retreat will concentrate on deepening our fundamental practice of mindfulness (Sati).

We will look deeply at what it means to practise meditation, drawing on the teachings and insights of the Discourse on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta) and the Discourse on the Full Awareness of Breathing (Anapanasati Sutta).

We will be guided to strengthen our approach to meditation and deepen our mindfulness across many forms of practice, such as sitting, breathing, slow walking meditation as well as chanting and touching the earth.

We will also explore what it means to fully integrate mindfulness into our everyday activities such as eating, working and interacting.

We will look specifically at how to apply these practices to strengthen our connection with nature and Mother Earth in the context of our current ecological and climate crisis.
