Event Details

White Tara is the goddess of longevity and peaceful aspects for purifying the negative deeds that accumulated from many past lives, especially negativities that shorten our life.

This year we are doing a special White Tara retreat with six domes of light which is not only to remove the obstacles of life but also to achieve the four different types of Siddhis. Peaceful, enrichment, magnetising, and furious.

From Tuesday 26th of December to Thursday 28th of December 2023, STL will be conducting a White Tara retreat of Wish Fulfilling Wheel with Six Domes of Light.

Accommodations are available for those who wish to stay at the centre. Participants can also attend the centre during the retreat and leave at the end of the day.

There are no prerequisites for attending as the White Tara Empowerment will be given before the start of the first session of the retreat (please see program attached), however we do ask that participants to commit to the retreat in its entirety.

This retreat includes a vegetarian diet requirement and fasting during dinner time.

Venue: 71-89 Davenport Drive, Wallacia NSW 2745

Cost: $200 per person

RSVP by 5pm 18 December 2023

Please note that our room capacity is very limited (can accommodate up to 8 adults, 2-3 per room). Therefore, it’s very crucial that you RSVP by 5pm on 18 December 2023.

Event Details

This 3-night meditation retreat allows practitioners to settle into stillness and quiet. The retreat becomes a supportive environment to go deeper into meditation than is typically possible with the busyness and complexities of daily life. The beautiful, serene environment allows space for cultivating awareness and equanimity and for exploring the mind.

The goal of the retreat is to provide an environment where all students can receive the required support and instructions to help them move forward in their practice.

This is a student-centred retreat, which means that there is no set curriculum to follow but rather each student will continue their own meditation practice and all talks and interviews will be responsive to students’ needs and interests. Instructions on meditation techniques will be provided as required and all levels of experience are welcome. If you are unsure about suitability you can speak with the teacher prior to the retreat.

Teacher: Kynan Tan is 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. He is a longtime practitioner of the stages of śamatha-vipassanā (as presented in the book The Mind Illuminated), Rob Burbea’s insight meditation techniques, nondual awareness, and brahmavihārā practices (mettā, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity).

Cost: $335–$450, covering accommodation and all vegan meals. Early bird prices are available until 20 December. As in the Buddhist tradition, there will be an opportunity to offer the teacher a donation (dāna or generosity) after the retreat.
