Topic: This small, intimate silent 3-night meditation retreat allows practitioners to settle into stillness and quiet. The retreat is a supportive environment to go deeper into meditation than is typically possible with the busyness and complexities of daily life.

This silent retreat is structured to provide an environment where all retreatants can receive as much support and guidance as is helpful for them to move forward in their practice: cultivating calm and clarity, opening the heart, and connecting with experience in ways that bring freedom. Capacity is limited to 12. The past two retreats have been fully booked..

Teacher: Kynan Tan is a meditation teacher who takes a collaborative approach to helping students deepen their meditation practice. Kynan 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, Rob Burbea’s insight meditation techniques, nondual awareness, and brahmavihārā practices. Kynan brings his experience as an artist, musician, and programmer into his understanding and sharing of meditation in a way that is clear, practical, and creative.
Kynan has recorded guided meditations for SBS, and has taught meditation at Carriageworks and Melbourne University Contemplative Studies Centre. He teaches the Pragmatic Dharma Club at the San Francisco Dharma Collective, leads retreats, offers one-on-one coaching, and teaches online meditation courses. He is the co-creator of Sit Down and Practice.
