Rasika Link
Movement Teacher
Rasika Martha Link, MFT, integrates her vipassanā practice with her decades of yoga practice and teaching. The yoga currently teaches is a gentle embodiment practice that settles the nervous system and improves functional movement in the joints. She has been teaching mindful movement at long retreats at Spirit Rock since 2001. She lives in Portland, OR and teaches weekly mindful movement classes. She also leads Nature Retreats in BC and the Oregon Coast.

Summer Lovingkindness Retreat
Spaces Still Available! The Buddha’s teachings on the four divine sanctuaries (brahmavihāras) include meditations on universal friendliness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), altruistic joy (muditā), and equanimity (upekkhā). Aimed at purifying our hearts and developing concentration, these divine sanctuaries help us find inner peace and powerfully engage with the world. This retreat will deepen our understanding of selfless love and its role in ending suffering. Practitioners are encouraged to combine this retreat with the Insight Meditation retreat to further develop concentration and purify the heart.
