About this event
We have all heard the phrase ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’.
Contemplating and meditating on the symbolism and deep meaning contained in the Wheel of Life Diagram, an ancient piece of art, is like contemplating a road map pointing us towards liberation and teaching us how to develop the stages of the path to enlightenment.
In this day course we will begin to understand the deeper meaning contained in this diagram and how to use it in meditation to guide us along the path. Retreat will include explanations of the symbolism contained in this art along with meditations to help us integrate their meaning. Everybody Welcome.
