Insight Meditation (Recollective Awareness) Retreats
These retreats are silent but with the opportunity to work in small groups and hold discussions or interviews with the teacher. The emphasis is on working with your own particular mediation practice. The approach allows for flexibility around difficulties with posture and daily routine. Nutritious vegetarian meals are provided. There are also opportunities for off-site accommodation.

Meditation Retreat with Anna Markey (read about Anna)
24th-26th March 2017
Glenbarr Retreat Centre, Strathalbyn, South Australia
This retreat will emphasise a gentle approach to meditation that supports an exploration of your inner world. You will learn how to allow your unique experience to unfold naturally, seeing even what you may usually view as unacceptable or mundane in a new way and learning more about the processes that sup- port the experiences you desire.
Through Recollective Awareness, you will journal and have the opportunity to report on your sittings as a way of cultivating greater awareness. You will learn from hearing of each other’s experiences as well as from gentle inquiry by the teacher. There will be an opportunity for private interviews with the teacher.
The retreat is open to beginners as well as experienced meditators who would like to look more deeply into the meditative process itself and bring more ease and acceptance into their sittings. Nourishing vegetarian meals are provided.
