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.

Going to Ground
Meditation Retreat with Jenny Taylor and Anna Markey (read about Anna)
24th-30th November 2017
Glenbarr Retreat Centre, Strathalbyn, South Australia
For many of us life is full: the needs of family and community are pressing, and concerns for the world can be overwhelming. How to care for the places and people we love, and for ourselves? This retreat offers an opportunity to look within, and to look outward, reflecting on your part in the larger life of place and community. Of all times in the life of our planet, it seems crucial now to grasp our non-separation from each other and from the world.
To help us reconnect with what inspires and sustains us, on this retreat we will take up the theme of 'going to ground'. In a supportive environment, you can reflect, listen deeply, and unwind. We hope that you will return home refreshed, with more understanding of yourself, your place in the world, and what you have to offer the future.
The Recollective Awareness approach to meditation taught on this retreat emphasises gentleness toward oneself and others, curiosity about one's experience, and permission to explore new aspects of meditation.
Most of the retreat will be in silence. In addition to meditation periods, there will be talks about meditation, Q&A and discussion, optional group interviews. There will be plenty of time each day for rest, walking, and journal writing. Delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals are provided.
