Sesshin, from setsu-shin, is a Japanese term meaning to be in touch with and transmit the heart (shin). A sesshin is a period of intensive spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is to dwell in the presence of the Unconditioned. Whether one retires from the world as a hermit saint or goes forth into the midst of society for the benefit of all sentient beings, one's ground, as a practitioner, is always ultimately the sacred power of love. Buddhas call this the divine resort (Brahma Vihara). It can be recognised by followers of any serious spiritual path.
In this sesshin all can together practise insight, tranquil abiding and invocation in a variety of ways. Instruction will be given in basic spiritual exercises and there ill be extended periods of practice, much of it in silence. We can reflect upon our nature, imbibe the power of peace, and deepen our spiritual sense. This retreat is for seekers of any tradition devoted to universal love, compassion and peace.
