Love and Understanding – a Retreat with Leander Kane CANCELLED

February 10 to 17, 2023

Unfortunately this retreat has had to be CANCELLED. Ill health has meant Leander is not able to take this retreat. If you have any questions please email the Course Manager, Duane Winter (leandersretreat23@gmail.com).

This retreat offers an opportunity to study mindfulness and meditative clarity in a very direct way, by using the body itself as a meditative tool.

In this method, the practitioner uses very specific guided movements, quickly developing a state of profound calm. The practitioner’s work is then to harvest the insights that arise while resting in that experience.

The work naturally includes all four meditative postures within each movement; lying down; sitting; standing; and walking; with each posture offering a new opportunity for insight.

This cutting-edge method of meditation has been developed over 30 years of purposeful study, meditation and teaching by Leander. Over the years this work has been refined and deepened, to become the jewel it now is.

Don’t miss this opportunity.

Dana for Leander

In the spirit of generosity, and in accordance with the ancient traditions of Buddhism, Leander offers her time and teaching freely. If you feel moved to offer a monetary gift, (dana), in return, please offer whatever you feel comfortable giving. Giving dana is customary, and helps support the teacher and her teaching, but is not expected. If you do decide to give dana, the custom is to offer it in an envelope, at the beginning of the retreat.
