Fully booked, waiting list only
This week-long intensive retreat, held in contemplative (Noble) silence at the beautiful Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat in the southern Drakensberg, KZN is another of Sue’s “training retreats.” It is of particular interest to people working with groups and/or interested in integrating Buddhist psychology and wisdom into their work. The retreat offers an opportunity to deepen your own meditation practice through extended silence, as well as your understanding of the Dharma through dharma talks which integrate the psychological and spiritual elements of this path. We will be drawing on compassion practices and the inspiration of Kuan Yin, the archetypal good-enough mother to help create the conditions for heart-felt authentic presence. Sue will also offer daily qigong movement meditation for a deeper embodied experience, as well as individual sessions which provide emotional containment, as well as deeper insight. In addition to Sue’s usual listening and talking meditations, there will be time to reflect on ways to create safe and boundaried spaces in which healing and transformation can occur. The retreat will allow for silence in solitude, including walks on the spectacular Mvuleni (Bamboo) mountain, as well as time to rest and replenish. Delicious vegan and vegetarian food will be savoured in silence, and a daily, mindful working meditation will also be part of our integrated practice.
A pre-retreat individual session is required for newcomers or if you have not attended one of Sue’s residential retreats before. The fee for this is R850 for 50 mins, fully covered by medical aid and can be reduced if necessary.
CPD accreditation for psychologists and other HPCSA registered professionals: 30 General and 6 Ethics CEUs have been granted.
Please Note: To receive CPD points and your certificate(s) this year, there is an annual admin fee of R175 - thank you.
