SUMMARY:The Mystery of Sound and Silence, Month-long Retreat with Bonni Ross
DESCRIPTION:Vibration, Discrimination and the Wisdom-that-Goes-Beyond\n3rd – 30th April 2015\nThis year’s month-long retreat for experienced meditators will focus on the shapings of sound vibration.  We will deepen our listening and feeling, explore the sounds we make, experiment with vibration that creates specific conditions for awakening and heighten our awareness of the humming of the world and the music of the spheres.\nCentral to this exploration will be the Vajrayana practice of Red Manjusri (Bodhisattva of Discriminative Wisdom) and his consort Saraswati (Goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and nature.)  The Buddha teaches that we all possess an innate intelligence that is more profound than we can possibly imagine. The objective of a Manjushri retreat is to make us aware of this profound wisdom that has, in fact, always been with us. \nThis retreat is for mature practitioners in healthy physical and mental/emotional states.  A playful nature will be helpful and an understanding of the importance of wholesome retreat discipline is assumed.\nPlease contact the course manager, Chani Grieve, with any enquiries, or watch this space for more information:\nchanigrieve@gmail.com ( mailto:chanigrieve@gmail.com )\nWe are also looking for a cook for this retreat! Contact Chani if you are interested in this position. \nThe Costs – plus dana – are as follows: \nUnits and huts – \nMember : $1721\nNon-member : $1883\nCamping –\nMember : $1370\nNon-member : $1451\nAbout Bonni Ross\n\nBonni Ross began work as a meditation teacher and counsellor in 1978. She combines 30 years of study and practice in the Theravadan and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism with motherhood, experience in holistic therapies and Western Mysteries and a 16-year career as a strategic planning consultant to business and government.\nShe helped to establish Kia Zan (a residential treatment programme for kids with drug-related problems) in Winnipeg; served on the Board and taught at Karma Buddhist College in St. Catharines, Ontario; was a founder of Third Stream Co-op at The Toronto Waldorf School; has served as Resident Teacher at the Dharma Centre of Canada in Kinmount, Ontario; and teaches in California, Australia and New Zealand.\nShe is founder and guiding teacher of the Sunshine Coast Retreat House near Vancouver, Canada.\nBonni’s classes explore both the philosophical and theoretic foundations of the teaching of awakening, as well as providing practical and pleasurable methods for increasing awareness, kindness and wisdom in daily life. She also guides individuals interested in focused meditation and leads retreats for depth unfoldment.\nArticles by Bonni Ross are available in the Treasury, and you can also read about her on the Sunshine Coast Retreat House website www.retreathouse.bc.ca\n
