K2014-1: INTERNATIONAL RETREAT for DHARMA TEACHERS and OI-MEMBERS

31.03.2020 - 03.04.2020

LIVING IN RELATIONSHIPS – OUR DAILY PRACTICE

By now probably everyone knows that Sr Annabel has cancelled her OI and DT courses for reasons of health. In case you have been worrying about her: she has let us know that she is better but still needs to rest for a few months.

Some Dharma teachers and OI members from England have decided to come to the EIAB anyway. Thay Phap An will not be at the EIAB at that time so they have asked me, Bi Nghiem, to teach a course. I have accepted. After checking with the group from England I have decided to teach a course on “Relationship”. (For course description see below).

Course with Sister Bi Nghiem

In this class we look at the issues that may lead to misunderstandings between couples. How can we learn to recognise these sources of misunderstandings resulting in hurt feelings, often happening on an unconscious level in ourselves and in our partners? How can we lovingly accept them?
Old wounds as well as relationship patterns from our childhood play an important part in our adult lives. The practice of the inner child and a deeper insight into early childhood bonding experiences can help us gain a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves and of our partners.
Taking a deeper look at our communication patterns will guide us to recognise that our difficulties will actually help deepen our relationships. Love, friendships, good relationships – they all require daily practice.

The English OIs will arrive already on Sunday March 29th and would be happy if you also could join them on sunday so that you have some time together bevore the course starts (if so please write it into the notefield of the booking)
