OCTOBER
"In Harmony with Nature" - One Day Retreat with Anton Eastick 10.30am - 4.30pm, Sunday 9th October 2022, Bargoonga Nganijin North Fitzroy Library & Online Establishing right view is like giving ourselves the framework for our experience, for our practice. Rather than having the view that we're someone needing to improve ourselves or change something, rather it’s ‘here is the awake mind knowing this moment’. So, establishing an attuned view, a view in harmony is taking the attention off whether we like something or don’t like it. But rather we enquire ‘is there dukkha?’. That’s where the letting go happens. Suitable for beginners or otherwise. Venue Bargoonga Nganjin Community Room, North Fitzroy Library, 182 St Georges Road, North Fitzroy Cost In-Person: $60 + dana for Anton's teaching Online: $40 + dana for Anton's teaching Bookings In-Person: to book click here Online: to book click here Enquiries insightretreats@hotmail.com Click here to check out the rest of our 2022 events and retreats |
