SUMMARY:Shantini/Charlotte Perret:Daily Group Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Group meditations are scheduled in the morning and in the evening outside of periods of scheduled retreats\, seminars and activities. \nShantini’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. \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.
