Event Details
This 5-day silent online retreat is a precious opportunity to deepen your practice and engage in embodied mindfulness from your home.
The focus of the 5 days will be on cultivating joy, ease and balance through the practice of sustained mindfulness, embracing mind, body and heart and offering experience a soft place to land.
Each day will include two sessions of mindful movement, a Dharma talk and meditation instructions. The retreat will support you to deepen into stillness and actively cultivate wholesome states of mind that promote joy and gratitude in the present moment.
The daily schedule will span from 7am to 7pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and will include periods of online and offline practice. Small group interviews with the teachers will also be offered.
The retreat is open to all and no experience is required.
Cost: tiered registration from $157.69 to $262.09

Event Details
Meditative concentration, also known as calm-abiding, is a state of mind where all the disturbances due to dysfunctional reactions of body and mind are pacified and we find our attention abiding blissfully on whatever object of meditation we focus on.
Contrary to popular beliefs, great effort and willpower are not necessary to accomplish it. Rather, the skillful and wise application of our mindfulness, coupled with the attitude of kindness and letting go, transforms our usual effortful struggle in meditation to an effortless process of settling deeply into concentration.
In this retreat we will look into creating the different conditions that facilitate the settling down of our body and mind, freeing them from the unnecessary tensions and agitation that disturb our peace and wellbeing.

Event Details
In our busy, hectic lives carving out five days to rest deeply in meditation practice and the transformative power of the Buddha’s teachings is not always easy.
We’re delighted to announce that we have opened bookings for our October urban retreat so that you have the best opportunity to reserve that time. (Those of you in NSW, Queensland and South Australia can take advantage of the long weekend in those states.)
We warmly invite you to spend five days immersing yourself in the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition.
Join us in our Buddhist temple by the park, or online to:
- establish or deepen your daily meditation practice
- learn how to work with distractions and obstacles that may arise during your practice
- hear, contemplate and meditate on the essence of the Buddha’s teachings
- create space to experience genuine inner peace and contentment
- begin a lasting transformation of your life
You will be supported by experienced meditation teachers Jan van der Breggen and Marianne Gizycki, and receive video teachings from Sogyal Rinpoche, a renowned master of the Tibetan Nyingma lineage and Dzogchen, or “Great Perfection”, tradition. The Dzogchen approach cuts to the essence of Buddha’s teachings to shows us who we really are: clear, wise, and fundamentally good.
Each day, which will run from 9:30am to 5:00pm, will feature a rich yet spacious program of teachings, guided meditation, and time for reflection and discussion.
We strongly encourage you to join us in person at Rigpa Sydney (158 Australia St, Newtown) to get the most out of your retreat time, but an online option is available if you cannot get to Sydney.
