SUMMARY:‘Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There’ – Breathing Meditation Weekend (Now Full)
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This Course is now FULLY BOOKED. If you would like to be placed on a Waiting List, please contact the Course Manager Jane Hobday on jane.hobday17@gmail.com ( mailto:jane.hobday17@gmail.com ).\nWant to learn to meditate? Perhaps you have tried and need some more skills and extra encouragement?\nOr possibly, you already meditate and wish to develop your practice and drop into a full weekend of meditation.  If so, then this weekend retreat will support you in exploring this.\nThe weekend will be predominantly silent and offers you the opportunity to learn, strengthen and enliven your individual practice of breathing meditation.\nAlongside this there will be opportunities for sharing and questions as well as time for individual practice; including space to enjoy just ‘being’ at the Wangapeka Centre – a very beautiful environment.\nThe Facilitators\nDuncan, Jane and Mark have all facilitated meditative retreats and workshops individually and collaboratively. All have an extensive background in meditation and retreat work and have studied closely with their teachers (specifically Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche, Bonni Ross, Tarchin Hearn and Cecile Kwiat) over many years.\nThis will be their third year of running ‘Don’t just Do something! Sit there!’ together. They have been encouraged by feedback appreciating the rich and stimulating dynamic which can happen through a ‘multi facilitator’ approach with different voices and experience included within the whole.\nMark, Jane and Duncan incorporate teaching approaches which gently encourage each member to touch into their own inherent wisdom with friendliness, kindness and humour.\n\nDuncan is an artist and jewellery maker with a strong interest in connecting earth, planet, history, and events to the human story and condition.\n\nJane brings many years experience in education and a long standing commitment to collaborative projects.\n\nMark began working in the field of Mental Health about 20 years ago and currently works as a counsellor in Nelson at the local District Health Board.\nThe facilitators are giving the teaching freely. You are welcome to offer them Kōha/Dana.\nCost\n$240 (early bird $215 if paid in full at least one week before the retreat starts)\nMembers $220 (early bird $195 if paid in full at least one week before the retreat starts)\nThe cost includes your own room, 3 meals a day (including tea and coffee) and the cook’s fee.\n\nIf using Paypal please add 5% of the total cost and include with your payment to cover Paypal’s fees – many thanks.\nTo register please fill out our online registration form\nRegister now\n*Please consider becoming a Wangapeka member – click here for details ( https://wangapeka.org/about/membership/ ).\nEnquiries about the workshop: email Jane jane.hobday17@gmail.com ( mailto:jane.hobday17@gmail.com )\nEnquiries about the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre: email Amber wangapekacentre@gmail.com ( mailto:wangapekacentre@gmail.com )\n[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]\n
