The Tiny Splash of a Raindrop: Weekend retreat with Singhashri and Balajit

“The human body at peace with itself is more precious than the rarest gem…all worldly things are brief like lightning in the sky; this life we must know as the tiny splash of a raindrop, a thing of beauty that disappears even as it comes into being.” - Tsongkapa

Join us in a collective exploration of our moment-by-moment embodied experience and the potential for freedom inherent there.

Together we’ll get curious about places of emotional holding and stuckness in our bodies, which get in the way of deepening into greater presence and availability to ourselves and others. These places are often where the effects of trauma are stored, whether the trauma is individual, intergenerational or collective. With the right support, we can begin to open in a way that recognises and honours our fundamental need for safety, dignity and belonging.

In this opening, we meet ourselves as we are, without trying to fix or get rid of anything. Instead, we can learn to simply allow what’s here to arise and pass away within the open space of a loving awareness. In this open space, the bound up energy loosens and releases, bringing relief, ease, and a sense of freedom.

From here, we can see more clearly the lakshanas of impermanence, suffering and insubstantiality and expand our capacity to appreciate the beauty of life - ours, others, and that of the whole living, breathing universe. This supports a response to the challenges of our times imbued with wisdom and compassion, for our benefit and that of all sentient beings.
