Having experienced a taste of basic goodness, we want to go forward. Meditation practice allows us to observe how we create a cocoon of habits to mask our fear. We begin to appreciate that there is no fundamental obstacle to experiencing basic goodness.
This is a graduated progressive series of weekend retreats, meaning each weekend is a requirement for the following weekend.
