Passover Retreat with Charles and Patricia Genoud, Lila Kimhi and Bat- El Tolnai

Settling our mind – Opening our heart : A Direct Path to Inner-Freedom

Insight meditation is a simple direct practice of the moment-to-moment careful attention to our mind/body process with a relaxed and interested attitude.

By staying present we learn to meet ourselves and life from a place of greater connectedness and balance. As our practice unfolds, a clear seeing and understanding manifests which supports the way of liberation.

Loving-kindness meditation will be part of the retreat as it develops the heart’s capacity to open and relate to experiences with greater kindness and compassion.

The retreat will take place in Noble Silence, and the format will include instructions in both types of meditation, an evening talk and discussions to support the participants in their practice.

This retreat is suitable for both beginning and experienced students of meditation.

Donation for the teachers:

According to the Buddhist tradition, the value of the teachings cannot be measured.

However, the means by which the teachings continue have always been supported by

those who recognize their value. Traditionally in Buddhist societies, the community

supported all needs of the teachers. In the West, such support has not been

developed, the only monetary compensation teachers receive is that provided by

retreatants such as yourselves, at the end of the retreat.

 The course will be mostly in English. Translation will be given as necessary.

The course is suitable for everyone- new to meditation and experienced. 

 Arrival at Ein- Dor will be between the hours 14:30-16:30 for registration. The course will end on Saturday at 14:00.

The volunteers experiencing "service retreat", and it's a great opportunity to combine giving and meditating and is being a rich practice and a bridge between sitting on the pillow and practicing in day to day life. Tovana is based and managed mostly by volunteers. During the year around 200 yogis are volunteering aside to 50 activists in permanent roles.
