Residential Meditation Retreat: Karma, Sickness and the Path to Healing

In this Meditation Retreat we learn how in his teachings on karma Buddha explains how all our actions are causes and all our experiences are their effects. In this context our experience of sickness is seen as being the effect of negative karma, or negative actions, of the past. Related to this, is the understanding that there is also a relationship between our experience of sickness and what goes on in our mind, since all actions originate in the mind and we experience everything through our mind. On this retreat we explore the relationship between our mind, karma and sickness and based on this alternative or complementary paths of healing such as learning to relate more positively to sickness, acceptance and purification practices.
