This 10-day meditation retreat allows practitioners to experience a greater depth of practice through seclusion. 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 10-day retreat format has become popular as a way to maximise practice time while minimising taking time off from other commitments.

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. If you haven’t had much experience meditating on retreat before, we will organise a call with the teacher prior to the retreat to provide you with support and answer any questions.

Retreat Schedule

The schedule will mostly alternate between seated and walking meditation. Each day there will be a dharma talk, a one-on-one interview with the teacher, three meals, and time for exercise or walking outside. We will observe noble silence from Friday night until Sunday lunchtime the following week.
