SUMMARY:Bodhi Seeds Retreat 2020 – 7 days at the Wangapeka
DESCRIPTION:Bodhi Seeds Retreat 2020 – 7 days at the Wangapeka Study & Retreat Centre.\nTools for The Great Turning. A deeper dive in meditation and community for young adults (age 18-35)\n18th – 26th November 2020.\nWhy come to this Retreat?\nWe are facing the collapse of the natural environment and challenges to our old social and economical structures. There is a need for active hope to participate in and support wholesome communities, where integrated and mature human beings contribute for the birth of an interconnected, response-able culture.\n“Do not look away. Do not avert your gaze. Do not turn aside. This teaching clearly calls for radical attention and total acceptance.” Joanna Macy\nWe are offering the cultivation of insightful awareness as a primary capacity to realise interbeing and build wholesome communities that cooperate in the thriving of earth’s life and it’s beauty.\nWhat is the focus?\nThis is a Vipassana/Samatha retreat with the increasing attention on the cultivation of tranquility. Tarchin Hearn offers an image of Samatha as…\n“standing completely firm: solid and unshakably present in the midst of whatever is arising.” The Cycle of Samatha, https://greendharmatreasury.org ( https://greendharmatreasury.org )\nWe know that this unshakable faith in the midst of whatever is arising is medicine for the world we are living. It is from this place we may glimpse life inspiring insight into the true nature of our belonging. We will be emphasising gentleness, body work and integration through all of the senses and moving modalities.\nWho is walking beside you on the path?\nThe retreat is blessed with three facilitators, Jaime Howell, Juliana Griese and Andy McIntosh. It takes place in the beautiful and supportive environment of  the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre. This centre was one of the first retreat centres in Aotearoa. Wangapeka offers us a deeply supportive environment; you will be moving into the presence of generations waking up.\nJaime Howell\nJaime Howell is a musician, story teller, rite of passage developer and Meditation/Open Floor teacher.

He is a volunteer Director of the Rites of Passage Foundation and is the Director of Opening Minds, an organisation dedicated to nourishing the seeds of wisdom and compassion here in Aotearoa. Jaime has a Masters in Education.\n \n \nJuliana Griese\nJuliana Griese have been exploring and sharing progressively since 2007, contemplative practices for the development of consciousness and awakening; of love and clarity of thinking, feeling and acting, moved by a passion and doings in the area of nature and community care through the work in NGOs and research projects in Brazil.

For the past 15 years he has been Studying Meditation and Awakening under the Guidance of, and attendant too, Tarchin Hearn and other inspired teachers. His exploration of Wisdom and Compassion, a deep appreciation of the natural world and regular sharing with others brings a grounded and practical approach to the question of what it means to live well and awaken in these times.\n \n \n \nIs this retreat for you?\nThis is for any experienced young adults (aged 18-35) who want to take their meditation practice and personal inquiry deeper. It is for young people who hunger to do this as a community. We want to support the change makers.
