A Vipassanā Retreat, Resting in Equanimity
With Christiane Wolf, Celeste Young and Viveka Blom Nygren
September 27 - October 4, 2027
Language: English
This week in silence offers an opportunity to pause, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what sustains and supports us amidst the changing conditions of life. Through Vipassana and Insight meditation, mindful yoga, present-moment awareness, and time in nature, we will explore how to cultivate equanimity — a balanced and open heart that can meet life with greater clarity, compassion, and wisdom.
In the beautiful and tranquil surroundings of Moulin de Chaves, body, heart, and mind are given the opportunity to soften, restore, and find new grounding. The retreat supports continuity of mindfulness, deepening insight, and a gentle returning to the living moment just as it is.
Resting in Equanimity
During this retreat, we will explore practices that help us quiet the mind, open the heart, and deepen our capacity to find balance and stability amidst change and uncertainty. By bringing mindful attention to our moment to moment experience, we can cultivate greater resilience in times of change and grow in awareness and love. We will focus on practices that calm the mind and open the heart, supporting continuity of mindfulness and the gradual unfolding of insight.
The structure of the retreat weaves together sitting and walking meditation, mindful yoga, rest, mindful eating, and Dharma talks with guidance and instruction. Each day also includes one hour of work meditation which both supports personal practice and contributes to the care and upkeep of Moulin de Chaves. There will also be opportunities for meetings with the teachers for personalised support in practice.
We will care for heart and mind through compassionate mindfulness, strengthening our connection with ourselves and with each other, while also allowing time to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of Moulin de Chaves, deep rest, and practice in this peaceful, nature-filled environment.
