Starts 6pm Friday 15th August, ends 3pm Sunday 17th August
Want 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.
The weekend will be predominantly 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.
This is 9th year that ‘Don’t just Do something! Sit there!’ has run at Wangapeka.
The Facilitators
Kath 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).
Mark and Kath’s approach to teaching meditation is to gently encourage each member to touch into their own inherent wisdom with friendliness, kindness and humour.
Costs for the weekend
Member – $208
Non member – $228
The costs include: accommodation in your own room, 3 meals a day (including tea and coffee), a cook’s fee and a small resource fee.
The Teaching is given freely although you are welcome to offer dana if you would like to do so.
Dana
The Teaching is offered freely although you are welcome to offer the facilitators dana as an expression of your openhearted generosity and support for the Teachings. Dana translates as ‘generosity’ – an act that empowers giver and receiver – and is at the core of everything that happens at the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre. You can bring cash if you wish to make this as a financial offering.
