Dharmapala College

Friday, 21 May (11am) to Sunday, 23 May (3.30pm)

with Locana and Manjudeva

Open to all Dharma practitioners with a regular meditation practice.
What insights does our felt-experience hold for our meditation and spiritual practice? How is Focusing different to meditation? How can the insights of the felt-sense enrich and deepen our meditation, as well as our daily lives? This long weekend sets out to teach and explore Focusing in the context of meditation.

Focusing is a way of understanding the meaning and implicit wisdom held by our bodies, combined with spontaneous images, metaphors and dreams. By tuning into the felt-sense, Focusing gives us a gentle practice of listening within that we can do by ourselves, or more formally in pairs. More essentially, it is a natural skill we all know,and which–used more fully and consciously–can allow us to be ever more present and open to our experience. The weekend is suitable for anyone with an interest in Focusing (both newcomers to it, and experienced Focusers)–either as a skill in itself or as an addition to your practice or teaching of meditation. Facilitated by Locana and Manjudeva–both qualified Focusing teachers.

Suggested donation £90. Accommodation £15/10 per night.

Please book early. Our teachers put a lot of preparation into the seminars — sometimes several weeks of work. We would find it irresponsible to let them continue with their preparations and then cancel the even at short notice due to lack of participants.

If you consider attending, but aren’t as yet certain, please let us know.

If four weeks before an event, we still don’t know that there will be a sufficient number of people attending, we will usually cancel it. By booking early, you can help us prevent disappointment on all sides.
