Not-Self from a Feminine Paradigm: A Retreat for Experienced Students

with Rebecca Bradshaw and Dawn Scott

During this retreat for experienced students, we will feel into not-self from the perspective of what’s known as the feminine archetype. How do we experience self and not-self on an embodied feeling level? We can use conceptual frameworks such as the five aggregates and the six sense bases to describe anatta, but what does the actual experience feel like? Through the body and sensing/feeling, we will explore how the self comes together and how it releases. Through sense-based intimacy, we will connect with contraction and spaciousness, clinging and non-clinging, suffering and freedom.

Prerequisites:

We warmly welcome experienced meditators of any gender who have knowledge of the basic Buddhist teachings and some intensive retreat experience.
