Dharmagiri provides support for self retreatants and practitioners, facilitates meditation retreats and enables access to Buddhist practice and teachings
We live at a time when there has never been greater need to recognise our profound inter-connectedness with the Earth and all beings. The divisive mind that separates everything out, tends to relate to the Earth and her creatures as objects to exploit; as a result human beings are generating environmental collapse at an alarming speed. The journey of awakening invites a shift from this dualistic mind into our deeper heart, which knows the intimacy of all things. A present, aware and listening heart, attuned to the deeper intuitive intelligence of the Dharma - of life and nature - manifests as wisdom and compassion. This profound listening is cultivated through meditation, which reconnects us with the awakening process as it dynamically informs appropriate response within the world. Rooted in the unmoving ground of being -- unshakeable like the Sacred Mountain – and authentic in our truth, mindful and discerning, we can work towards a more conscious world. Dharmagiri offers pathways to mature this process of awakening while aligning with others who love the Dharma, and who seek to express this love through action.
