Beauty and Insight - A retreat on perception
With Vajradarshini
October 30 - November 6, 2026
An invitation to look closely at how experience takes shape—how we see, feel, and make meaning of the world around us. We shape the world, just as it shapes us... we are creating our world, we can begin to choose—consciously and creatively—to shape a world of beauty and meaning. The arts offer us new and surprising windows on the world. Alongside Dharma teachings and meditation, we’ll be exploring what art, film, poetry, and music can reveal about the nature of perception.
