Zen Practice helps us to notice ‘what we already are’.
And ‘what we already are’ is connected to ‘what we want to be’ in the deepest sense. The craft then is to open up those connections. Zentatsu Baker Roshi

Body, Speech, and Mind are three aspects of our existence. From a Buddhist perspective, we can subsume all of our existence into these three categories. Buddhist practice is to open the depth and subtleties of each of these three.

We will experientially explore the body from within the experience of the body. We will learn to bring ‘micro attentionality’ to our bodily sensations and to notice the body outside of our usual categories. We will explore ‘imaginal body practice’, like the question ‘what is the body of the Buddha?’, ‘How could my experience be the experience of a Buddha’s body?’

Speech, in Buddhism is understood to be any flow of information, way beyond just verbal speech. The word ‘communication’ etymologically means ‘to change together’. We will explore speech in this wider sense.

Mind can be understood as ‘sentient space’. Mind can have different structures, architectures. We will work with and explore a wider understanding of mind than our usual daily consciousness, and we will learn how such an experience of mind can be liberating.

The retreat schedule contains daily lecture, body movements, walking meditation and still seated meditation practice, also, small groups and inquiries if one wishes.

It`s mainly a retreat in silence.
