Inner Deepening
Marianne will lead this 5-day meditation training focusing on a spiritual structure of deepening our connection to our own heart and awareness, and to the silent presence of the world around us. She will use modern brain research and practices from modern developmental psychology and psychotherapy. There will be time for exchanges and discussion along the way. Weather permitting, we will also practice outdoors. For the first two days, we will focus on balancing meditation exercises and meditation practices that connect us to the wordless beauty and grace of earth, and sky.
On the third day, there will be a day to practice individually, or to rest, explore or enjoy the surrounding chestnut forests, the mountains or the river. Or spend the day at the sulphur springs.
During the last three days, we will continue into a deeper sense of connecting to the wordless parts of ourselves and to each other, leaning into the sense of spirit – into grace. There will be a full moon on the 24th, so we will also do a full moon meditation on that evening.
The format of this training will alternate between meditations, practical exercises, theoretical presentations and discussion.
