We are honored to present a unique retreat that explores the profound relationship between physical and mental balance through the lens of the Buddha's teachings on Satipatthana (Four Foundations of Mindfulness).
In this special retreat, Ajahn Kusalo will guide participants to:
• Discover the intimate connection between physical and mental balance
• Learn practical body-balance exercises that enhance meditation
• Develop deeper understanding of all four foundations of mindfulness
• Experience the natural harmony of relaxed awareness
