Note: these talks were recorded in Mono.  This is a problem for some players.  On some computers, the “download” option will launch a different player than the “play in new window” option.  One or the other may work better, so try both.

About This Retreat

This very special retreat offered a unique opportunity for Dhamma students to engage in two weeks of practice grounded in the Vipassana teachings and practices with an orientation towards investigating Self–No Self in relation to the creative process. Along with sitting, walking, Dhamma talks, individual practice interviews and some group discussion, we explored the flow of creative energy in relationship to “self-view” via movement, seeing/drawing, and writing.
