*Please consider becoming a Wangapeka member – click here for details. Grant will lead a range of practices for calming our (generally) over-taxed nervous systems, and sharpening the tools of clear discernment, through the practice of the four limitless qualities. The importance of fostering strong positive motivation will also be central to the retreat. Their relationship to fostering a truly mindful life and forming the foundation for insight into the nature of mind will be explored. The practices of loving-kindness and compassion in particular will be central themes of this retreat. These ‘four limitless qualities’ of loving-kindness, compassion, empathic joy and equanimity result from a combination of heart-centred meditation, curiosity, and care-filled attention during daily activities. Well cultivated these qualities lead to an outflow of joy in the achievements of others and strengthens our ability to bounce back from the often turbulent ups and downs of life. Mindful Compassion – for self, others and nature – helps guide our actions for the benefit of all. Love softens resistance and lays the foundation for insight into the nature of mind.
