Daylong Retreat: ‘The Hindrance of Torpor’
Join Tahn Pamutto and friends for an online daylong retreat in the Upavana Zoom, Sunday, September 22. Come for all or part, or catch the recordings on Youtube afterwards when your schedule allows. The theme of the day will be an exploration of the hindrance of Thina-middha. Often translated as ‘Sloth and Torpor’, this hindrance is more nuanced than simple drowsiness. More than a physical expression, it reflects how we’ve trained ourselves to respond to certain feelings and situations. When we learn how to overcome it we gain access to our mind’s innate brightness and energy.
