SUMMARY:Chenrezig Meditation Retreat with Mark Schrader
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n2021 Chenrezig Meditation Retreat – 5 day or 2-day (weekend only option)\nFriday 19 November (5pm) to Wednesday 24 November (2pm)\n \n This is an experiential meditation course that focuses on developing compassion for oneself and therefore for others. Both beginners and those wishing to deepen their meditation practice are welcome to attend. Each day we will meditate together as a group as well as having space for people to practice independently. Throughout the retreat we will touch into a variety of themes such as: Refuge – where is my place of safety?, Wholesome livelihood – what is an ethical life?, connecting into one’s heart-felt aspiration – what is most important to me in life?. Questions arising spontaneously from those attending will also be explored. As a way of supporting participants to deeply benefit from the retreat there are periods of silence built into the course.\n \nChenrezig Meditation – this is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation that embodies the union of wisdom and compassion. It is an exploration of rich symbolic imagery alongside sound (mantra) that enables us to connect deeply with these two qualities.  The facilitator, Mark Schrader, is an experienced teacher who brings enthusiasm, creativity and care to the retreat. It is the 8th year that Mark has offered this course at Wangapeka.\nThe course is limited to 14 participants so registering early is advisable. There is an option of attending just the weekend rather than the full 5 days —please enquire.\nCOSTS\nNon-membersUnit or Hut: $515 – whole retreat; $225 – weekend only.Camping: $390 – whole retreat; $175 – weekend only.\nMembers of WangapekaUnit or Hut: $465 – whole retreat; $205 – weekend only.Camping: $375 – whole retreat; $169 – weekend only.\nCosts include food, accommodation and a resource fee.\nDana/Koha –the Teaching is offered freely although you are welcome to offer Mark dana/koha as an expression of your generosity and support for the Teachings.\nMORE INFORMATION\nFor more information please contact Di (Course Manager) dianelittletree@hotmail.com \n \n\nAbout Mark Schrader\nMark has appreciated co-facilitating Community Courses at Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre and more recently the Introductory Meditation & Transforming your Emotions courses.
