Individuals are welcome to use the retreat facilities during those two weeks. He will also be teaching in Motueka (see here) Life is a continuous flow of experimentation and improvisation. Participants will need to have some maturity in their meditation practice. Specifically, they should already have basic experience in mindfulness practice and silent retreat, and know how to recognize and care for difficult emotional states coming up within themselves, should they arise. This path of intimate enquiry requires a heartfelt reverence for all life, a passion for deepening one's understanding of self and others, and a strong inclination to be of service. Please note that the retreat will not be suitable for people wanting solitude or needing to process unresolved emotional or relationship issues. It will however be a wonderful opportunity to explore mind and nature in an experimental and contemplative fashion guided by Tarchin's more than 40 years of meditative enquiry and teaching, and his great passion for making the dharma alive and relevant for the world of today. If you are in doubt as to whether or not this retreat is suitable for you, you should get in contact with Tarchin. Preference will be given to participants registering for the entire 2 months. If there is space available it may be possible to attend for a shorter time but everyone is urged to start on June 4. During the retreat, participants will share in the cooking and the general ongoing chores that are needed to run the centre. More details to follow.

This is not a matter of techniques, of right or wrong, or of following or preserving traditions or lineages – even though each of these has its place and use. Fundamentally, the art of living fully is the art of engaging richly in the present, and the present is a vast and powerful stranger! Facility in this art requires a life-long refining of our capacities for sensitive responsiveness, a deepening skill in focused inquiry, a rare and precious degree of straight-forwardness and ordinariness, and a profound respect for all forms and manifestations of life. Nature of Mind, Mind of Nature – a merging of experimental insight meditation, deep ecological experience and personal empowerment, will be a mostly silent retreat. It will be a wonderful opportunity for people to contemplatively and experimentally explore with Tarchin Hearn, these very central issues of mind and nature and ecology and personal involvement. It will be an opportunity to deepen one’s understanding and skills in the often ignored art of living fully, and to strengthen our recognition of how the richness and vitality of our living can become a deeply meaningful offering to all beings. It may be possible to attend for less than three weeks. Preference, however, will be given to people wishing to do the full retreat. Everyone needs to begin together on October 12, 2010.
