Founder of the Heartwood Hermitage in British Columbia, Canada, and the Heartwood Institute in the Himalayas of Kalimpong in India, Bhante Ānanda emphasizes a kind of open awareness meditation which he calls “Natural Samādhi.” 

Immerse yourself in the development of mental collectedness through uplifting the mind and relaxing bodily tension. Here, you will be guided to smile through Loving Kindness meditation, the four Brahmavihāras, the four Satipatthānas and the entire noble eightfold path which culminates in Vimutti—mental liberation.
 
While dividing his time between Sri Lanka, the Heartwood Hermitage in British Columbia, and the Indian Himalayas, Bhante Ānanda leads retreats worldwide.

Bhante Ānanda’s teachings invite you to discover the depths of your inner world and unlock the path to profound awakening and happiness.
