with Elli Yates, Dan Burgess-Milne and Chani Grieve

What does it feel like to be in a state of question? What would it be like to embrace the mystery of the universe, to take shelter in the heart?

2020 has shaken the foundations of what many of us consider ‘normal.’ It could be said that the planet is demonstrating realities that have always been true, but now we are witnessing them on an unprecedented global scale – everything changes; life is struggle; everything depends on everything else.

This retreat will offer ways to explore these realities creatively, meeting the discomfort of not knowing with reliable, trustworthy tools of Dharma – wisdom, compassion and loving awareness. If we can learn to open ourselves to vast, collective fields of intelligence and support, then perhaps we can find extraordinary capacities for creative response and loving action in the face of uncertainty.

YAR creates space for people of the same generation to develop and deepen a meditation practice together, to bring the ancient teachings of liberation to life in our modern context.
