"See, Open, Let-Go": Urban Day Retreat with Angela McGee & Robyn Gibson 10am-5pm, Sunday 4th February 2023, Abbotsford Convent “If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will have complete peace.” – Ajahn Chah This experiential day of practice will explore the layers of contraction that restrict our natural capacity for connecting with ourselves, others and the world around us. We will use the tools of insight practice – meditation, inquiry, stillness, silence, and cultivation of the heart qualities – to support seeing, opening and letting go. We will also use mindful movement to soothe the nervous system, and use the body as a wise resource in allowing the whole being to let go deeply. Venue The Oratory, Abbotsford Convent, 1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford, 3067 Cost $60 + dana for Angela & Robyn's teaching Bookings Click here to book Enquiries Emma - insightretreats@hotmail.com 2024 Retreats for your diary
