No Enemies Inside: Cultivating the Wisdom of Love Through Focusing

Starts 21 Jan 2027

We may recognise that becoming more embodied and meeting ourselves with greater acceptance can transform the way we relate to self-criticism, inner conflict, and feeling stuck. Yet we may find that when these experiences arise, it is not always clear how to put these loving intentions into practice.

On this weekend retreat, Varadhi will introduce the transformative practice of Focusing [https://www.wisdombeyondwords.com.au/] which is a gentle, embodied way of attending to the felt sense: an implicit, intuitive, holistic wisdom of the body. Drawing on the Buddhist understanding that genuine love and acceptance are expressions of wisdom, this retreat will offer experiential teachings, and practical guidance to help you learn how to listen deeply to your inner experience with care, curiosity, and compassion. By cultivating a more embodied relationship with yourself, you can begin to soften inner conflicts, and develop the qualities of loving awareness, setting the tone for the year ahead.
