Deepening Your Meditation Practice: Recognizing Inner Transformation
How do we move from intellectual understanding to genuine
inner experience? What subtle shifts signal true spiritual
progress?
Join Venerable René Feusi for a
transformative retreat, designed
for everyone interested in understanding
what is meant by spiritual progress in Buddhism, and for
practitioners to refine their practice and gain clarity in
their spiritual journey.
Guided sessions, contemplative teachings, and deep
reflection will help us explore:
- How to recognize and cultivate the signs of inner transformation
- The transition from intellectual understanding to lived experience
- Key indicators that your practice is evolving at deeper levels
- How to refine awareness and trust in your unfolding spiritual path
This retreat offers a rich opportunity for reflection and insight, helping you recognize and embrace the markers of genuine progress on the path to awakening.
