Breath is Energy Healing, Breath is Life, With Bonni Ross – FULL
This retreat is FULLY BOOKED. To go on a waiting list, please email the course manager Jane Hobday jane.hobday17@gmail.com
This is the third in a program of retreats in 2023/24 being offered by Bonni.
January 12 to 26, 2024
Open to All.
Preference will be given to those with some experience of one-pointed focus practice.
This predominantly silent retreat will review classical focussed anapanasati meditation, exploring spontaneously-arising physical and emotional/mental states, as well as the various arisings of bliss. When appropriate, we’ll apply Namgyal Rinpoche’s Holistic Clearing practice to deliberately invoke strengths, negatives and lacks in consciousness in a balanced, wholesome fashion.
This is a potent traditional practice that is do-able when we return home. In addition to meditation instruction, practice and plenty of opportunity to ask questions, there will be time to immerse ourselves in the supportive natural environment of the Wangapeka.
Participants should be in reasonably good physical and mental health to enjoy the challenges, inner and outer, of life at Wangapeka.

About dana
These priceless teachings can’t be quantified in monetary terms. Liberation teachings have always been given freely by Bonni.
An offering can be made to the teacher, traditionally at the beginning of the retreat, 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.
Giving as generously as you can enables Bonni to continue sharing the precious Buddhadharma for the benefit of all.
