SUMMARY:ReWild – Wilderness Meditation Retreat – New Dates
DESCRIPTION:A guided 5 day meditation retreat with emphasis on Nature connection and human wholeness\nNew Dates: 9th – 14th November 2022.\nWe shortened this retreat to make it more accessible for anyone that wants to have more of a community retreat guided by Jaime and Ju. It will run from the 9th- 14th. 5 days to be supported to develop a meditation practice in community. Daily guided meditations, community meals, evening chanting. A time for all to be nourished.\nWhy come to this Retreat?\nThis retreat will guide and support you into the art of meditation, the natural state of belonging with all of life. It is interesting how as adults of all ages we can become distanced from the happiness and creativity of wonder and innocence. Meditation is about learning how to put down the parts of the mind that continually seek to solve problems, in favour of learning to rest in being.\nTwo things we need: a passion for inquiry and a vast spacious heart\nThe Nectar of Naturalness by Tarchin Hearn\nOur intention is to guide our group to deepening the meditation practice inspired by the teachings of Tarchin. We are entering the heart of clear seeing and love.\nBeyond this, Jaime and Ju are finding that it is not enough to meditate, we need to integrate the gifts of meditation into the hot messy creativity of our relational lives. We also believe we need to resource ourselves back into nature, we are calling this a process of Re-Wilding.\nWe are offering this retreat as a question, “what might it mean to be a true adult? And, “how can meditation help us?” It is ongoing work but it has something to do with living fully with the inheritance of a wild animal body/mind, while cultivating through deepening familiarization a feeling for the one taste of pure beingness.\nThis retreat is a continuation and a whole in itself, you can come just for this part, especially if you want to learn meditation in a supportive group or deepen your practice with people who are interested in the work of Joanna Macy and to participate in the Great Turning. The first part of the ReWild retreat takes place in the Tui Events park, it is more active, offering conscious dance, circling work and an initiation. More information can be found here, it will explain how the two retreats weave together: https://www.centreforthegreatturning.org/rewild-retreat-2022\nYour guides\nAlongside the more than human world, the retreat will be offered by Jaime Howell and Juliana Griese. It takes place in the beautiful and supportive environment of Wangapeka. 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. Jaime and Juliana have recently founded the Centre for the Great Turning, a charitable trust dedicated to moving away from an industrial growth society and into a self-sustaining society. Visit www.centreforthegreatturning.org for more information.\nJaime Howell: Jaime Howell is a musician, a lover of mythological stories, a poet emerging, rite of passage guide and Meditation/Open Floor teacher. He is a graduate of a three year school of mindfulness/meditation who went on to spend another three years as the resident practitioner at the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre. He meditates everyday and has done for 22 years. He is a volunteer Director of the Rites of Passage Foundation. Jaime has a Masters in Education.\nJuliana Griese: I have been exploring and sharing progressively since 2007, contemplative practices/meditation moved by a passion in the area of ecology and community care. I worked for more than 15 years in Brazil with NGOs, the environmental movement and research projects focused on wild animal ecology. I am beginning to explore more deeply and delivering The Work that Reconnects for communities and in retreats. I am a NVC passionate and do my best to put it into practice. I am an enthusiastic supporter of community building.\nTogether we are a couple in awakening, singing, meditating,making messes and beginning anew, building new cultures of love and clear seeing. We have the deepest aspiration to support each other in our growth and collaborate in the Great Turning.\nCosts\nStay in Units:\nNon Wangapeka member $500\nWangapeka member $450\nCamping:\nNon Wangapeka member $375\nWangapeka member $360\nWe are not including in this price our role as organizers and facilitators.
