RETREAT: Ending the Year with Compassion and Joy (Fully booked – waiting-list only)
16 December, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 20 December, 2017 @ 2:00 pm UTC+2
Event fully booked - waiting-list only
This 4 night "Open the Heart and Still the Mind' silent retreat, held in a contained and nurturing atmosphere of contemplative silence, is suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators.
Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist psychology and meditation, we will end this year developing our capacity for calm and compassionate wisdom. Through the cultivation of an embodied awareness, grounded in practices which integrate body, heart and mind, we will deepen our access to open-hearted joy and a lightness of being which are healing and transformative.
In addition to the sitting and walking meditations, daily sessions of qigong movement meditation, as well as yoga and optional aromatherapy massages will enhance this process of integration. There will also be time for restorative rest and mindful swims, silent walks, runs or bicycle rides through the beautiful fynbos and forests. I will also offer short, individual sessions throughout this retreat, deepening the insights which are revealed in the silence. Delicious vegetarian and vegan food will be savoured in silence.
Please book early for this popular end of year retreat!
