A Fit Mind
Two-Day Meditation Workshop
Saturday 9th – Sunday 10th August 2025, 10am – 5pm
Led by Vajrashura
Life is busy and before we know it we can be lost in a strange mix of worldly over-consumption and spiritual under-nourishment! In all this, we can lose touch with the deeper nature of the mind and its significance in how we create our experience of self and world.
On this two-day workshop of meditation instruction and practice, Vajrashura will lead an exploration of The Satipatthana Sutta the Buddha’s teaching on mindfulness in the beautiful Oscailt Integrative Health Centre, Dublin 4.
We’ll firstly connect with the context for mind, the body, and how the body feels. Then we notice the quality of mind we have within this bodily experience, and how we can creatively respond to this mind that we find ourselves with.
Finding the mind also involves realizing for ourselves what constitutes a healthy, positive, and fit mind, how we can cultivate this for ourselves, and how bringing into being this fit mind is itself the main part of the direct way to freedom as described by the Buddha.
Please note this event is not taking place in our usual premises.
