Jeremy Logan and Di Robertson

We are delighted to welcome Jeremy Logan and Di Robertson back for our Spring retreat at Staveley, the first spring retreat there since 2020.
Spring Retreat 2023: A Sanctuary in Uncertainty
Dates: Friday 29th September – 6th October.
Cost: $320 (160) * plus dana
Venue: Staveley Camp, Canterbury
Sanctuary in Uncertainty
In these unprecedented times of radical change and uncertainty, a new world is being born. Courage and compassionate presence strengthen us to face into the chaos and not turn away. With wisdom and determination, we can move forward together to create a world based on justice, kindness and shared resources rather than on greed, hatred and delusion.
The practices of Insight Meditation support our inherent capacity to awaken to wisdom and open heartedness. In recognising our own suffering, and tending to that, we recognise our interconnectedness and see that our personal welfare and happiness, is intimately interwoven with the wellbeing of all.
This silent retreat is suitable for both those new to meditation and those with experience.
Inquiries & Registration:
Registrations are now closed because the retreat is full. We often get cancellations close to the beginning of the retreat so if you still want to attend in the week prior to the retreat you could email Southern.insight.meditation@gmail.com to find out if any spaces have opened up.
Costs: retreats and courses are set to be as affordable as possible to cover the cost of the retreat itself. Teachers receive dana. A sliding scale or subsidised rates for those on a limited income is available. Speak to us about our “top up fund”.
**A note on Dana: Registration fees do not cover any payment to teachers for their teaching. They will receive only what you offer as dana. Dana is a gift by each person in the spirit of generosity to reciprocate the teachers’ sharing of their depth of knowledge and expertise. The amount given is up to the giver.
