This retreat invites us to collectively flip the script on how we may habitually relate to some emotions as more valuable than others in our process of getting to know ourselves. What if we could break out of any thinking that simply pits the \u201cbetter\u201d parts of ourselves against the \u201cworst\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Through a deep dive into embodied experience, moment-by-moment, we\u2019ll uncover the potential for integrity at the heart of emotions like fear, grief, and anger. Exploring what these emotions reveal to us when allowed to be fully known and felt in awareness\u2013 before our habits of identifying with, or banishing, kick in.<\/p>\n<p>Together we&#8217;ll get curious about where challenging emotions come from as parts of us\u2013and what they might need to liberate the energy usually bound up in them. We\u2019ll investigate how connecting with our bodies of energy can support us as we learn to relate differently to our emotions and their impact on our lives.<\/p>\n<p>In these challenging times we\u2019ll also look at working with feeling together through conflict, leaning into the promise of this as a way to move towards creating a more liberated world.<\/p>\n<p data-key=\"346\"><span data-key=\"349\"><strong data-slate-leaf=\"true\">What to expect<br \/><\/strong><\/span>Join us for a co-created, emergent space that includes meditation, community agreements, friendship, somatic exercises, movement, reflections, small and large group discussions and enquiry, teaching input, guided practices, and creative ritual!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)&#8221;

A sparkling exchange about ways into integrating embodied practice where our guests collectively flip the script on how we might habitually relate to some emotions as more valuable than others in the process of getting to know ourselves. What if we could uncover the potential for integrity at the heart of emotions like fear, grief, and anger?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a strong invitation, one to be met at your own pace. And a chance to get curious about where challenging emotions come from as parts of us\u2013and what they might need to liberate the energy usually bound up in them in some direct relationship to the wish for a more liberated world.<\/p>\n<p>We also get an excellent practical sense of this kind of heart work. How do you do an online retreat? Will I find a genuine sense of community? Will it be too hard to let difficult emotions in? These and other excellent questions are engaged with in a beautifully thoughtful way, from Dharma teachers holding the experience of many years of Buddhist practice, including online-first contexts.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing to know is: you are trusted, you are welcome! Come take part and be with whatever arises in a kindly, gracious space, looking at what it is to be simply a human being with a body and an emotional life.<\/p>\n<p>This podcast ends with a short guided practice to help us imagine what it is like to be truly supported.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;

Afterwards, Viveka talks about the different Buddhist approaches to working with disturbing emotion. She starts by pointing what about when they intense in the sense of disturbing and talking about the five kleshas. She then introduces three approaches of working with emotions: mindfulness (let it be), applying antidotes (do something to it), deeper engagement with the emotion (turn towards it). With each approach she guides on a brief practice or reflection exercise, exploring our emotions through the lens of each approach.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/822364634?share=copy&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This day&#8217;s last session.

Balajit then reminded us of the four questions based on the four foundations of mindfulness. He subsequently guides us in a mindfulness of breathing practice while considering these questions. Singhashri followed Balajit&#8217;s session with a mett\u0101 bhavana practice, also incorporating these four questions into the practice.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/822751820?share=copy&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/alaya.thebuddhistcentre.com\/index.php\/s\/aDXBnsBZCTPpyzW\/download&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download audio of the second session&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; button_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; button_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Download audio&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#659cae&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#659cae&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; button_text_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; button_text_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The retreat starts with Viveka welcoming everyone and opening a space of bringing attention to what we are grateful for. Balajit then shares some reflections around emotional dynamics. Balajit talks about how the dynamics of inner conflict around emotion can happen, for example, in the mindfulness of breathing practice as distraction or even self-rejection. He then invites us to distinguish between experiencing and behaviour, also talking about a window of tolerance compared to overwhelming. He then talks about a personal story about the difficulty on feeling some emotions and suggesting we ask ourselves the question &#8220;What do I fear would happen if I allowed myself to feel this?&#8221; and the openness to &#8216;not just this life&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/822795012?share=copy&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Singhashri starts the last session of the day with an arriving practice.

Later, Balajit discussed anger in relation to the &#8220;just sitting&#8221; practice and explained the concept of sky-like awareness, where experiences come and go like fireworks in the night sky. Balajit then led a &#8220;just sitting&#8221; meditation and asked for feedback on what was noticed during the practice.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/823147218?share=copy&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/alaya.thebuddhistcentre.com\/index.php\/s\/xbnbGHk5ko4WM79\/download&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download audio of the second session&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; button_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; button_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Download audio&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#659cae&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#659cae&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; button_text_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; button_text_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s Going On&#8221;, a song by American singer-songwriter Marvin Gaye sets the stage for Viveka to explore our response to difficult emotions in relation to our world.

He invites us into reflection of reasons why do we often find this stage challenging, and what even is the self that we are wishing to be well. He also introduces the concept of adult and child consciousness, looking at ways that we might identify our child consciousness, and how that might be fueling many of the hindrances we experience in meditation. In the second half, Singhashri leads the mindfulness of breathing, with an emphasis on the importance of allowing ourselves to experience joy and pleasure in our meditation practice.
