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.

Download flyer
Early bird registration available (pay by 16th Feb 2018)
Arrive Friday from 4.30pm onwards for a 7.30 pm start. A Light meal will be served at 6pm. The retreat ends Sunday 3.30 pm
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 support your experiences.
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 each other’s experiences as well as from gentle inquiry by the teacher. There will be an opportunity for private interviews with the teacher.
