A Sanctuary in Uncertainty
In a fast-changing and often uncertain world, meditation offers a way to pause, reconnect, and come home to ourselves. By cultivating mindfulness and compassion, we can learn to meet life — both its joys and difficulties — with greater balance, clarity, and openness.
Insight Meditation invites us to explore the nature of the mind and heart through silence, stillness, and awareness. As we deepen our understanding of ourselves, we naturally deepen our connection with others and the living world around us.
This silent retreat provides a supportive environment for open heartedness, deep inquiry and renewal. It is suitable for both those new to meditation and those with experience.
On this silent retreat each day will include a mix of guided and silent sitting meditation and walking meditation. There will also be regular small group discussions and individual meetings with the teachers during the week.
Inquiries & Registration:
Registrations close on Friday 4th September. Note if the retreat fills before this time, we will run a wait-list.
If you have any problems registering, then please email our registrars at Southern.insight.meditation@gmail.com with the words Spring retreat inquiry in the title.
*Costs: Retreat costs are set to be as affordable as possible. The actual cost of the retreat is $400, however it is possible to pay a subsidised rate, for those on a limited income, anywhere from the actual cost down to $200. If cost is still a barrier for you we have some places available for $50.00 total cost, thanks to donations from past retreatants to support your attendance. You are welcome to inquire about any of this by Email.
**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 at the end of the retreat. 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.
