This two night silent weekend retreat, held in a very nurturing environment in late summer, will focus on the containment that arises when we access stillness within silence. During this retreat we will establish an inner refuge, a safe home within, which will be supported externally by the mountains and Nature, and internally by embodied meditation and movement practices which connect us with the ground of our being. Through the cultivation of calm and tranquillity, we will discover that an embodied awareness can heal the fragmentation that arises from living with fear, clinging and disconnection. As we ground ourselves more fully in the present moment, with kindness and with the support of a containing silence, we learn how to live with compassion and wisdom.
This retreat is suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators and includes teachings from the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, a brief individual session, as well as guided meditations in all postures. The ancient practice of qigong movement meditation, as well as optional relaxing yoga and aromatherapy massages will enhance the experience of the integration of body, heart and mind.
A pre-retreat individual session is required for newcomers or if you have not attended one of my residential retreats before. The fee for this is R650 for 50 mins or R500 for 30 mins, fully covered by medical aid.
CPD accreditation for psychologists and other HPCSA registered professionals: 15 General and 2 Ethics CEUs have been applied for.
