SUMMARY:Eran Harpaz:A Vipassana Retreat: Cultivating the Qualities of the Heart (Brahma Viharas)
DESCRIPTION:There are moments when simply pausing is enough — to make space for what is always already here.  \n To set aside the noise\, the familiar pace\, and the constant busyness\, and to become receptive to the to the truth of the heart.  \n In this retreat\, we will deepen our practice of Vipassana — the cultivation of clear seeing\, meeting experience just as it is — while intentionally nurturing the Brahma Vihāras\, the sublime qualities of the heart: loving-kindness\, compassion\, appreciative joy\, and equanimity.  \n Held largely in silence\, in the heart of Nalanda’s wild natural surroundings\, we will practice meditation in sitting\, walking\, standing\, lying down\, and mindful movement. The retreat will also include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, and opportunities for sharing in small groups\, and will be held in English and Hebrew alternately. \nAbout Eran Harpaz \nEran Harpaz has been walking the path of meditation and Buddhist practice since the early 1990s\, when his journey began in Asia and continued through Australia\, Europe\, and Israel. \nOver the years\, his practice has unfolded into a life of teaching\, sharing\, and cultivating the Dharma. He is a senior Dharma teacher with Tovana (The Israeli Insight Meditation Society)\, guiding Vipassana meditation retreats and courses\, and dedicating himself to the flourishing of the Sangha in Israel. \nAlongside teaching\, writing\, and translation\, Eran finds joy in the simple art of tending to life — being a family man\, caring for his garden\, and nurturing the many forms of growth that arise both within and around us.

SUMMARY:Shantini/Charlotte Perret:Discover your infinite nature at the source of mental agitation.
DESCRIPTION:Shantini’s practice has evolved from classical Vipassana to Mahamudra\, with Lama Tilmann Lhundrup. She looks forward to sharing her experience with visitors between courses and particularly during the week-long retreat in February.  \nThe focus will be on developing awareness of the body and mind in the present moment. Just as water becomes clear when its surface is not disturbed\, our mind becomes clear and spacious when not obstructed and we discover a state of serenity and natural compassion that is our true nature\, but was lost amidst the turmoil of life. \n  \nAbout Charlotte Perret / Shantini \nCharlotte took her first Vipassana course in 1979 with the renowned S.N. Goenka in India. This 10-day experience of meditation in complete isolation and silence was a major turning point in her life. She felt she had understood everything and that she could never fall back into depression because she had found the meaning of life. \nOf course\, there was still much to discover and in the following years\, she joined many retreats in India\, Thailand\, Burma\, Sri Lanka\, and also in Europe. \nIn 2017\, when the time came to settle in a pleasant place to dedicate her life to  practice\, the Nalanda site appeared. Construction lasted more than eight years\, and the Center is now open to allow other practitioners to develop their practice in a charming environment.
