SUMMARY:Stardust, Starlight with Bonni Ross – FULL; Wait List available
DESCRIPTION:“We are singing stardust.”\nCarl Sagan — astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist\nSaturday 3rd to Saturday 10th December, 2022\nThis retreat is FULLY BOOKED.\nIf you would like to be on the Waiting List, please contact the course manager, Karen Harley at waihoraorganics8@gmail.com\n \nWe will explore the boundless practices of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Empathetic Joy and Peace in this slightly unconventional retreat.\nThe unconventional part is a special invitation to babies and their families to come at the beginning so that we can enfold them into our circle of practice with love, caring, patience and delight welling up from a deep recognition that on this planet we all start out the same way. All are welcome on Sunday, December 4.\nThen, the formal work will review the traditional forms of Brahma Viharas and The Four Limitless Meditations before we evolve the practice in an accessible, delectable fashion.\nThe supports of movement, working with colour and form and community circle sharing will help deepen our practice.\nThis will be a predominantly silent retreat.\nCosts\nThese costs include accommodation in a single room/hut, food, cooks fee and resource fee.\nThey do not include Dana for Bonni (more about Dana below).\nHuts/Units\nMembers $628\nNon-members $698\nCamping\nMembers $502\nNon-members $523\nChildren under 4 years Free\nAbout Dana\nThese priceless teachings can’t be quantified in monetary terms. Liberation teachings have always been given freely by Bonni.\nAn offering can be made to the teacher, traditionally at the beginning, and is a profound practice in itself. Giving can help us open; and through an open-hearted state of receptivity, we can find ourselves more able to receive.\nGiving as generously as you can enables Bonni to continue sharing the precious Buddhadharma for the benefit of all.\nAbout Bonni Ross\nBonni Ross has taught extensively at the Wangapeka over the last 30 years and is a deeply respected ‘Centre Elder ‘. She guides individuals in developing focused and skillful meditation and leads retreats for depth unfoldment.\nBonni began exploring the teachings of liberation in the early sixties. In the mid 70’s she met her principal teacher, Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche, whose direct, eclectic teaching and example are central to her life. Bonni teaches from a deep wealth of meditative experience. She communicates with sensitivity, creativity and humour in a way that resonates with each individual present.\nBonni is one of the founders of the dharmasphere collective and one of the visionaries behind the innovative project ‘2020 A Year of Clear Vision’.\nShe is inspired by ‘ordinary’ people who demonstrate exceptional courage and compassion in the midst of great suffering. Somewhat unexpectedly, Bonni now finds herself living in Nelson, and is currently deeply engaged in studying Maoritanga.\nInformation and Registration\nFor further information, please contact the course manager, Karen Harley at waihoraorganics8@gmail.com\nTo register please fill out our online registration form\nRegister now\nIf using Paypal please add 5% of the total cost and include with your payment to cover Paypal’s fees.\nPlease consider becoming a Wangapeka member – click here for details.\nNebula and stars image from goodfreephotos.com\n
