RETREAT: Healing and Transformation through Meditation (waiting-list only)
16 December, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 20 December, 2016 @ 2:00 pm UTC+2
This 4-night silent retreat, held in a contained and nurturing atmosphere of contemplative silence, is suitable for beginner as well as experienced meditators and provides an opportunity to discover the healing and transformative potential of meditation.
Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, we will discover that when we turn our attention inwards, grounding ourselves with an awareness that is fully embodied, we can integrate body, heart and mind. Learning to relax and centre ourselves in the present moment, we can shift from our habitual tendency of bracing against life to an open-hearted and compassionate embracing of our human experience, without fear or avoidance. This allows for the healing of old wounds and the discovery of inner peace, balance and greater joy in our lives.
To enhance the integration of body, heart and mind, daily sessions of Qigong movement meditation will be offered, as well as aromatherapy massages and yoga. There will be time for restorative rest, as well as silent swims, walks, mindful runs or bicycle rides through the beautiful fynbos and forests, as we end our year with kind and compassionate awareness. Sue will also offer short, individual sessions throughout this retreat. Delicious vegetarian and vegan food will be savoured in silence.
