Living with Wisdom, Compassion and Non-Clinging Awareness with Tarchin Hearn

– heart tools for walking into the unknown –
a retreat with Tarchin Hearn
Friday 17 March; 5pm to Sunday 2 April; 2pm, 2023

Please note this retreat is now FULLY BOOKED. All huts, units and camp sites are full. If you wish to be placed on the WAIT LIST, please contact the the Course Manager Mark Schrader:  schrader.mark@gmail.com before registering.

 

As a result of personal health issues, this will be the first residential retreat that Tarchin has given since early 2021. It will be an opportunity for people who have been touched by his teachings or writings to come together as a community of friends in dharma to deepen their insight and practice. Over the two weeks, through contemplation, meditation, mindful movement and immersion in the rugged beauty of Wangapeka, we will explore the meeting point of dharma, deep ecology and our place in the world.

Dwelling in a space of love,
with tendrils of curiosity reaching forth in all directions
we feel our way,
softening and sensitising into the richness of community,
a living world within us, around us and through us.

Apprentices of wonderment and awe,
probing and questioning,
sampling and savouring
with calm abiding and vivid discernment
together exquisitely intermeshed,
we touch our home,
this world,
of you and me and all of us together,
precious
beyond words.

Teacher, author and artist, Tarchin draws on the fruits of a life long involvement with Buddhist philosophy and practice, and a passion for contemplative ecological science. If you are unfamiliar with Tarchin and would like to do a bit of preparation reading before the retreat, we suggest his latest book “This Nectar of Naturalness”. Further information about Tarchin and his work, along with all his publications can be found at: www.greendharmatreasury.org

*Dana for Tarchin

In the Buddhist spirit of dana, or the practice of generosity Tarchin offers these teachings freely. He relies entirely on the generosity of people who feel this work is worth supporting, therefore you are welcome to offer dana as an appreciation of the gift of his teaching. A ‘dana box’ will be available in the main hall in Wangapeka. Generosity begets generosity.
