Entering Indra’s Net: Practising with Image
With Kavaradhi and Padmasagara
May 1 - 8, 2026
The intriguing image of Indra’s Net depicts a vast net with a jewel woven into each knot. Every jewel reflects every other jewel in an infinite myriad of singular images.
In our minds many images arise, but how do we engage with image in a way that is opening and creative rather than constricting and proliferating. How do we incline to images that liberate and resource us as opposed to images that entice and fool us.
With our meditation firmly grounded in right view, embodied awareness and metta, we can open up to the potency of image.
On this retreat we will draw upon images from stories and ritual as well as allowing space for personal images to emerge.
