One Breath – A Weekend of Renewal and Connection with Bonni Ross – FULL

and dharmasphere

Friday 11th 5pm – Sunday 13th August 3pm

This retreat is now FULLY BOOKED. To be placed on the Waiting List please email the Course Manager Louise louise.petzold01@gmail.com

Breath is life and death. Breath is energy, fuelling physical well-being, emotional health and clarity of mind.

Breath is connection, interdependence — evolution unfolding for billions of years offering this ungraspable moment. Breath is awakening to what is real.

The weekend will consist of  clear and practical meditation guidance, with plenty of opportunity for questions.

The weekend will be predominantly silent and will include time to meditate with the support of the group and also time to practice alone.

Many experience the environment at the Wangapeka as nourishing and enlivening; a place of sanctuary.

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.

About Bonni Ross

Bonni 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.

Bonni 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.
