Calming the Mind with Wisdom Meditation Retreat

This retreat will have a strong emphasis on understanding and getting familiarised with the correct view of reality (the view of emptiness through wisdom); while also developing a focused and concentrated mind through the practice of shamatha /calm abiding meditaion.

The meditation practices will generate a calm, concentrated mind. You will be guided to focus first on the breath, gradually moving to being mindful of mental activity and moving to an even subtler inward focus to being mindful of awareness of awareness.

Participants will leave with a grounded appreciation of the view of emptiness and how to practically apply this wise mind in their daily lives.

The retreat will include full days in silence and will allow participants to build a regular practice.
