The Kind Heart Mountains Retreat 8 – 10 November 2019.
We offer guided meditation retreats held at Forest Lodge in the Craigieburn Mountain Ranges on the Mt Cheeseman road, just 90 minutes drive from Christchurch. The Retreats are very suitable for beginners. Everyone is welcome.
The Kind Heart Retreat has particular focus on developing loving-kindness through meditation and gives practical methods to profoundly improve and transform our relationships.
Being on retreat is a special time to take ourselves away from our usual routines and busy lives. Through the teachings, contemplation and meditations we allow ourselves to develop a positive perspective. We then bring this new perspective back into our daily lives to benefit ourself and others.
Forest Lodge is located amongst beech forest and tussock. The area around the Lodge is particularly tranquil and conducive to meditation. There is plenty of time for doing walks or to simply enjoy the stillness of the mountains. The Retreat includes teachings, accommodation and delicious vegetarian meals. Accommodation is in light, spacious bunkrooms.
The Retreat begins with dinner on Friday at 6.30pm and finishes on Sunday at 3.45pm. Silence is observed in the morning until the end of the 2nd morning session. Each session contains short preparatory prayers, a teaching and guided meditation. The Retreats are suitable for beginners and those who are more advanced. Everyone is welcome.
The retreats are guided by Kelsang Luma, the Resident Teacher at Kalpa Bhadra Buddhist Centre.
