Retreat: Rest & Replenish with Compassionate Awareness
This deeply nourishing Winter Weekend retreat starts at 6pm on Friday 25 July and ends after lunch at 2pm on Sunday 27 July and is held in the very nurturing and beautiful environment of Mont Fleur, nestled in the mountains near Stellenbosch It is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners and provides an opportunity to deepen our compassionate self-care during this season of reflection and deep rest.
Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist and Western psychology and through various mindful and compassion meditation practices, including sitting and walking meditations and qigong movement meditation, we will learn how to connect more deeply with our embodied, authentic presence in silence and stillness through all the changing conditions of this season. These practices enhance our capacity to deal with change and transitions, as we embrace the ever-present truth of impermanence, facing endings and new beginnings bravely and more compassionately.
