SUMMARY:Don’t Just Do Something. Sit there! (2024) With Kath Mitchell and Mark Schrader – FULL
DESCRIPTION:Friday 28th June 6pm – Sunday 30th June 3pm\nPlease note: this retreat is now fully booked. If you would like to attend, then please contact the Course Manager Georgia georgia.wangapeka@gmail.com to go on the Waiting List.\nWant to learn to meditate? Perhaps you have tried and need some more skills and extra encouragement? Or 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 to explore this.\nThe retreat will predominantly be silent and offers you the opportunity to learn, strengthen and enliven your individual practice of breathing meditation. Alongside 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.\nThis is the 8th year that ‘Don’t just Do something! Sit there!’ has run at Wangapeka.\nThe Facilitators\nKath and Mark have all facilitated meditative retreats and workshops individually and collaboratively. They have an extensive background in meditation and retreat work and have studied closely with their teachers over many years (specifically Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche, Bonni Ross, Tarchin Hearn and Cecile Kwiat).\nMark and Kath approach to teaching meditation is to gently encourage each member to touch into their own inherent wisdom with friendliness, kindness and humour.\nCosts for the weekend\nMember – $225 (*early bird $205)\nNon member – $245 (*early bird $225)\nThe costs include: accommodation in your own room, 3 meals a day (including tea and coffee), a cook’s fee and a small resource fee.\n* Early bird means payment is received in full at least one week before the start of the course.\nThe Teaching is given freely although you are welcome to offer dana if you would like to do so\nDana – in the Buddhist spirit of dana, the practice of generosity, Kath and Mark offer these teachings freely and rely on the generosity of people who feel that this work is worth supporting. You are welcome to offer dana as an appreciation of the gift of the Teaching. A ‘dana box’ will be available in the main hall at Wangapeka. Generosity begets generosity.\nInformation and Registration\nFor more information please contact: Georgia McCrory-Bowick (Course Manager) – georgia.wangapeka@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.\nImage Credit: Photo by Kalen Emsley on Unsplash\n
