Nonduality Discussion with Andrew Holecek & Robert Thurman
Channel: Tibet House US Menla Online
Date: 2023-07-26

Join Andrew Holecek and Robert Thurman, September 11 - 17, 2023, for an advanced retreat that explores the nature of mind and reality from the perspective of the nondual traditions. A host of ancient and modern methods for touching into the nature of mind will be explored, including analytic meditation, the practice of open awareness, devotion (via guru yoga), mantra, breathwork, nature dharma, cutting-through practices, and the nocturnal meditations. It is a no-nonsense deep dive into the heart of nonduality, and the philosophical, psychological, and even scientific disciplines (of quantum theory) that support this highest view. While held within the context of Tibetan Buddhism, this retreat is open to anyone interested in exploring nonduality.

The power of nature at Menla is so impactful that it can stun the conceptual mind into silence, bring you to your (nonconceptual) senses, and wake you up. Leave your stressful life behind, and let the natural beauty of a forest retreat and wellness center settle your mind and open your heart. In addition to a progression of advanced practices held indoors, we will do extensive “aimless wandering” in nature, inviting the symbolic guru of the phenomenal world to teach us. Mixing mind with space-awareness is a central narrative of this retreat. The Great Outdoors will open the sense gates to the Great Indoors, until we discover the ultimate nonduality of inner and outer.
