RETREAT: Beginning the Year with Calm and Compassion (Fully booked – waiting list only)

24 January, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 26 January, 2020 @ 1:00 pm UTC+2

Embracing Change and Loss

Fully booked - waiting list only

This ‘Open the Heart and Still the Mind’ weekend retreat will be held in a contained and nurturing atmosphere of contemplative (Noble) silence and is suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators.

Through the practice of meditation and the wisdom of Buddhist psychology we will discover how to create balance and stillness in the midst of whatever is arising. Guided meditations, including mindfulness and compassion practices, as well as daily qigong movement meditation, time in nature and a short session with Sue will help transform the fragmented, self-critical heart and mind to a more integrated experience of embodied presence. We will deepen this process with metta (loving-kindness) meditation, which allows us to embrace our humanness with kindness and care.

A pre-retreat individual session is recommended for newcomers or if you have not attended one of Sue’s residential retreats before. If you would like to book an individual session before this retreat, in person (if you are in Cape Town) or via Skype/Whatsapp, the fee of R850 is fully covered by medical aid.

CPD accreditation might not be available for 2020, but this will be reviewed in the new year.

Bookings: Please email sue.stillmind@gmail.com
