Ayya Anopama and Nicola Redfern will offer an online retreat in<\/span>cluding Insight Dialogue on the weekend 13-15 November 2020, hosted by Tilorien Monastery\u2019s iSangha.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using the poems from<\/span> ‘The First Free Women’<\/span><\/a> which are based on the <\/span>Therigatha,<\/span><\/i> the world\u2019s oldest collection of women\u2019s literature, <\/span>we will be exploring the struggles and moments of awakening of the very first nuns at the time of the Buddha. <\/span>T<\/span>hese women came from all walks of life and their realizations took many forms. Investigating these teachings connects us with the challenges and <\/span>doubts, as well as with the perseverance and profound compassion embodied by these courageous women. Their lived experience and insights are deeply and immediately relevant to our<\/span> own lives as practitioners today.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the forward by Bhikkhuni Anandabodhi, spiritual advisor of Tilorien Monastery: <\/span>\u201cFor me, these poems have been an invitation to bring light to the hidden corners and the broken parts, to the confused parts and the angry parts, to all the parts that have been pushed aside. Because it’s only when we bring everything onto the Path that the Path can truly transform us\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In this retreat we will come together to practice silent meditation as well as Insight Dialogue, bringing together the wisdom teachings of the Early Buddhist Nuns and the power of meditation in relationship to support deep insight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We warmly welcome practitioners of all gender expressions to join us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
