We wash our bodies daily. How often do we wash our heart? To wash the heart is to open the inner chambers of the breast to the purifying flow of the awakened breath, redeeming the heart as the centre of our lives. In this sacred inner ground, matter and spirit mix and mingle, and self and selflessness coexist.

This retreat will take place in the main camp and participants will be asked to be in silence for most of the time.
