Cultivating Natural Awareness
and Wisdom
7-day Meditation Retreat with Alexis Santos
at Buddhistisches Haus Berlin (Frohnau)
June 17-24, 2018
In mindfulness meditation, we practice developing the qualities of mind and heart that lead to well-being and freedom. These
qualities, when cultivated, can free us from the suffering and stress that are the routine experiences of our lives.
On this retreat you will be guided in learning the foundations of mindfulness meditation while also exploring the development of wisdom. Emphasis will be on developing a relaxed continuity of awareness and a kind, compassionate attitude towards all that arises. The retreat is suitable for both new and experienced practitioners.
