Five Kinds of Confidence — A Retreat for Lesbians
Venue - The Guesthouse, Southern Sweden
Drawing on the mandala of the five Buddhas, we explore how each one represents a different aspect of confidence: the confidence to say no, the confidence to shine, the confidence to be different, the confidence to say yes, and the confidence to do nothing. Some of these will come more easily to us than others — we can rejoice in the ones that do, and get curious about the ones that challenge us. On this retreat we'll explore specifically what it means for us, as women, to discover and stand in our own confidence.
Timed around midsummer, we'll make the most of being outdoors, with a varied programme of Dharma talks, meditation, and simple rituals, alongside time to get to know one another and share our experiences.
Silence
Part of each day will be held in silence, with around three full days of silence at the heart of the retreat.
Who is this retreat suitable for?
This retreat is for lesbians, and is suitable for anyone with an established meditation practice and some basic Dharma knowledge.
“I used to walk down the street like I was a superstar… I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be — and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.”
