Salzberg will be leading a Loving Kindness retreat at Sunyata, County Clare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salzberg is one of the founders of the Insight Meditation Society at Barre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More info at www.sunyata.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="field-items"&gt;             &lt;div class="field-item odd"&gt;                     &lt;span class="date-display-start"&gt;Friday, 28 May 2010 - 6:30pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="date-display-separator"&gt; - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="date-display-end"&gt;Sunday, 30 May 2010 - 4:00pm&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Metta is the word for friendship or lovingkindness in Pali, the language of the original Buddhist teachings. It is taught as a meditation that cultivates our natural capacity for an open and loving heart.  Metta is traditionally offered along with meditations that enrich compassion, joy in the happiness of others, and equanimity.  These practices lead to the development of concentration, fearlessness, and genuine happiness.  Sharon Salzberg will introduce these teachings and support us in our own experience and cultivation of these qualities through direct instruction and guided meditation using classical techniques in a modern idiom.  There will also be many opportunities for questions.  This retreat is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.  Since this is Sharon's first visit to Ireland, we will give Irish residents preference through February 15th.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-cost"&gt;     &lt;div class="field-items"&gt;             &lt;div class="field-item odd"&gt;                       &lt;div class="field-label-inline-first"&gt;               Cost (€): &lt;/div&gt;                     240        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field field-type-text field-field-concessions"&gt;     &lt;div class="field-items"&gt;             &lt;div class="field-item odd"&gt;                       &lt;div class="field-label-inline-first"&gt;               Concessions: &lt;/div&gt;                     Available        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-teacher"&gt;     &lt;div class="field-items"&gt;             &lt;div class="field-item odd"&gt;                       &lt;div class="field-label-inline-first"&gt;               Teacher(s): &lt;/div&gt;                     &lt;a href="http://www.sunyatacentre.org/content/sharon-salzberg"&gt;Sharon Salzberg&lt;/a&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11085413-32455405988201035?l=www.holisto.com%2Fintegral%2Fintegral.php' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.holisto.com/integral/2010/03/sharon-salzberg-to-visit-ireland.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Daniel)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11085413.post-1862783771422071802</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-31T21:31:53.532Z</atom:updated><title>News from Sunyata Retreat Centre</title><description>&lt;style&gt;&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Just to remind everyone that this weekend,  January 29th-31st, is our last residential restreat until April (the Easter  retreat), "New Year Holiday of the Heart."  &lt;strong&gt;This is a retreat of renewal  and re-commitment for those who had family engagements during our week-long New  Year retreat.  We will settle our minds and hearts into the moment, letting go  of the cares and anxieties we often carry.  We will develop mindfulness and  metta (loving kindness) as we spend the weekend in silence.  Beginners are  welcome as well as advanced meditators are welcome. Delicious vegetarian meals  are provided: breakfast, main meal and light  supper.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;People are encouraged to come for the  entire retreat but are also invited to come for a day or one overnight (at  reduced fees, of course).  This retreat will follow an Irish Winter  Schedule:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;7AM morning sit; 8AM breakfast; 10AM-1PM  morning practice; 3PM-6PM afternoon practice; 6PM Qi Qong; 8:30-10PM Evening  meditation and talk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;We invite you to join us, for that's the  only reason we are (and can be) here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Bart and Marion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Sunyata Retreat Centre&lt;br /&gt;Snata, Sixmilebridge, Co.

We will be spending our time in the beautifully converted 18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;  century stables of Croneybyrne Courtyard, and staying in luxury holiday  cottages, all set in a magnificent woodland at the foothills of Trooperstown  hill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Raavi;font-size:100%;"&gt;  This unspoiled  area is perfect for a weekend to completely switch off and get away  from all the hustle and bustle of life.  Spend your time awakening  to your inner spirit, experiencing the presence of your own being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Raavi;font-size:100%;"&gt;The weekend commences  with an evening meal and relaxed introduction meeting on Friday evening.   Saturday and Sunday morning will begin with a half-hour meditation after  breakfast.  The intention of spending this unbroken time together  as a group is to help build a stronger spiritual energy in which to  work.  As the energy and intention begins to manifest each person  will experience a deeper connection to spirit, both within themselves  and to the spirit realms.  The unseen worlds will become illuminated  both within you and around you.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Raavi;font-size:100%;"&gt;During the weekend we  will be working closely with each other as we experiment with exercises  and meditation to intensify our sensitivity and deepen our understanding  of our self.

Each cottage has a full, modern kitchen, cast iron  wood burning stove, stone fireplace, timber floors and central heating.

There are outside seating areas, gardens and woodland walks, ideal for  quiet reflection and relaxation.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Raavi;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meals  &amp;amp; Refreshments - &lt;/b&gt;Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, lunch on  Saturday and Sunday, and cooked evening meals on Friday and Saturday.

We will also be asking  you to keep your mobile phones powered off at all times when you are  with the group. If it is absolutely necessary for you to make or receive  a call at any time, please be respectful of others and do so away from  the rest of the group so as not to interrupt the quiet flow of the weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11085413-4623360657444935136?l=www.holisto.com%2Fintegral%2Fintegral.php' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.holisto.com/integral/2009/10/inner-world-weekend-retreat-friday-30th.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Daniel)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11085413.post-4251238279703471906</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-10T21:25:46.190+01:00</atom:updated><title>Sunyata's new website, a great place to visit!</title><description>At holisto, we like to recommend only things we have tried for ourselves. Having visited Sunyata I can thoroughly recommend it. Even at Easter, the surrounding countryside was already teeming with life (tadpoles galore!). Pride of place goes to the amazing meditation room, with a stunning view over Clare. Anyway, enough of the memories...here is a message we just received from our friends there:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;style&gt;&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Here at Sunyata we are  offering some mid-summer holiday break opportunities that won’t require you  having to queue at airport security.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;hese  holiday breaks include healthy vegetarian cuisine while relaxing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt; in the peace and quiet of the beautiful South East  Co.Clare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;  countryside&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;r ecological footprint will be much smaller if you take advantage of  one of these rather than flying off to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Spain&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Italy&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; or the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Canary  Islands--&lt;/st1:place&gt; and you’ll get to explore the most wondrous location on  the planet: your own inner space.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Fo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;r more  information on these breaks, please see our newly designed webpage &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sunyatacentre.org/"&gt;www.sunyatacentre.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; and  join us for one of these “holidays of the heart''.

And this is not a flaky therapy. In fact, there is a growing body research which indicates that Mindfulness may be a vital tool for healing and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781593851286/?a_aid=holisto"&gt;The Mindful Way Through Depression&lt;/a&gt;, is by a set of a set of leading teachers and researchers in the field, led by Jon Kabat Zinn, a pioneer of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). (Jon recently visited Dublin to present a very successful seminar.) He also narrates an accompanying CD which has a number of guided meditations for practicing the techniques outlined in the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mindfulness is a deceptively simple practise, but it is immensely valuable in minimizing the layers of aversion that depressive states of mind seem to perpetuate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mindful Way Through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness: Guided Meditation Practices for the Mindful Way Through Depression&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By (author) Mark Williams, By (author) John Teasdale, By (author) Zindel V.
