Event Details
Samādhi is a pāli word that is sometimes translated as concentration, but might be better understood as collecting, unifying, aligning, stabilising, and harmonising both mind and body. The Buddha gave extensive teachings on how to cultivate samādhi and the importance of this practice. Through cultivating samādhi there are beautiful, lovely, and powerful states of mind that foster deep feelings of tranquility, happiness, and wellbeing. These qualities of mind also create optimal conditions for gaining insight and learning about your own mind and experience.
These states are a possibility for all human beings and can be accessed and cultivated through practice. There is a fine art involved in navigating the mind that requires creativity, exploration, play, and responsiveness.
Each day there will be teachings given on the techniques for cultivating samādhi, working with the hindrances, finding a balanced approach to practise, and how to deepen the practice and explore avenues for insight. These instructions will centre around using the breath as a meditation object, whole body awareness, and the practice of mettā.
Date: Saturday 5 to Sunday 13 October 2024, arrive 4pm Saturday, depart 2pm on the closing day. Note that this includes the Labour Day public holiday.
Location: Vejjasala, 219 Forest Road Wingello, NSW 2579
Teacher: Kynan Tan a meditation teacher who takes a collaborative approach to helping students achieve their meditation goals. He draws upon a number of different modern and traditional techniques of contemplative and introspective practice. Kynan studies meditation with Dr. Tucker Peck, leads retreats, and teaches one-on-one instruction and online meditation courses.
Cost: $840 – $1440 depending on the type of accommodation. This price includes three lovingly prepared meals each day. Teaching is offered freely.
