A day of practice and discussion led by Maitripala, following explorations from Bhikkhu Analayo in his book ‘Satipatthana Meditation: A Practice Guide’. Analayo sees the presence of hindrances during meditation practice as an opportunity to train our skills and further understand conditionality, rather than as a trigger for frustration and negative self-evaluation. He encourages an element of playfulness akin to playing chess with a good friend!

Suitable for anyone who has previously attended a Mindfully Alive retreat with Maitripala, or for those proficient in our meditation practices.
