- Dipa Ma
In this retreat we will contemplate wholesome disillusionment... what it is, what to do with it and how to use it as a path to freedom by which we overcome the eight worldly dharmas: praise and blame, loss and gain, fame and shame, pleasure and pain. Overcoming fear, uncertainly and a sense of failure in a ever-changing world is not only possible, it is the joyous fruit of right praxis.
The retreat will be limited to 10 yogi-yoginis (meditators), held at the Merton Institute Retreat Center at Bethany Spring, New Haven, Kentucky. Please use Mapquest for directions from your home to Bethany Spring which is located at 115 Dee Head Road in New Haven, Kentucky 40051. See www.bethanyspring.org for more information.
