Dhiraka has been practicing since his student days and was ordained in 2005. He is fascinated by the 'problem' of teaching meditation - of communicating what is a very private practice and helping others to 'get it' when he can't 'see' directly the fruits of their efforts. It is a subtle art and one that Dhiraka takes seriously, but does so with a lot of humour as well. He also teaches meditation in secular contexts.
The focus of this retreat will be the quiet contemplation of the landscape through meditation and painting. This will be supported by experienced teachers in both discipline who will lead us in an exploration of basic Buddhist practices and guide us through the production of a series of small drawings and paintings based on landscape.
