"Befriending Your Meditation Practice" - One day meditation retreat with Angela McGee Saturday 21st April 2018, CERES Environment Park • You meditate, but are keen to establish a more regular practice? • You’ve heard about the benefits of meditation, but wonder about getting started at home? • Or maybe you’ve experienced some fruits of the practice, and want to strengthen your commitment? During this retreat we will look at ways of establishing or reinvigorating a regular home practice that works for you both on the cushion and in daily life. We will look at some of our preconceptions about what a regular meditation practice looks like, and what obstacles might get in our way. We will also enquire into befriending all that arises in our heart-mind, in formal meditation practice and in our everyday experience. This is a repeat of a previous retreat run by Angela McGee. Venue The Learning Centre, CERES Community Environment Park, Brunswick East (enter through the Lee Street Gate) Time 1.00pm - 5.00pm Cost $25 + dana for Angela's teaching Bookings www.trybooking.com/UJLM Enquiries insightretreats@hotmail.com "Filling Up" - Annual women's meditation retreat with Jess Huon Friday 20th April - Wednesday 25th April 2018, Kallara, Strathbogie Ranges For more information and bookings go to www.jesshuon.com MAY 7 day silent meditation retreat with Anton Eastick (4 day option available) Wednesday 2nd May - Wednesday 9th May 2018, Kallara, Strathbogie Ranges For more information and bookings go to www.thedharmapath.com.au "I see you Mara!" - One day meditation retreat with Anton Eastick Sunday 20th May 2018, Kagyu E-Vam Institute, Carlton Download flyer For more information and bookings go to www.thedharmapath.com.au JUNE
