METTA - The Mind Illuminated Norway - (SOLD OUT, JOIN WAITLIST)

We're unfortunately sold out. Join our waitlist and we'll contact you if any spots become available.

The theme of the retreat will be Metta, or loving kindness, and we will explore how to apply it with the stages of the elephant path as described in the system The Mind Illuminated. This means that we will be building both loving kindness and concentration at the same time and seeing how they complement and enhance each other. This is a retreat fit for both beginners and advanced practitioners and no prior knowledge is required. You will however have to be ready to meditate at least 6+ hours a day (probably more). This retreat offers a mix of guided meditation, silent practice, and traditional teachings. You will also get guidance from our experienced and competent teachers 1 on 1 and in small groups.

We’ll embrace Noble Silence throughout the retreat, encouraging minimal talking, activity, and distractions. By disconnecting from phones and the internet, you’ll have the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in meditation while connecting with a supportive community of fellow practitioners.

We'll be staying at a beautiful traditional norwegian farm that is approximately 3 hours from Oslo city center with buss or car (photos below). Transportation will be cordinated closer to the retreat date, but plan to be ready at Oslo S at least at 12 PM.

The instructions will be given in english as there are many internationals coming to the retreat. There will be about 15-20 participants. All the participants are espected to contribute to preparing food and cleaning.

For the camping tickets you are expected to bring your own camping equipment, but closer to the retreat we might be able to help and coordinate with others.

For any questions, contact henrik@dharmatreasure.org
