Beginning Again - an Introductory Retreat


This annual retreat, now in its 11th year, is an opportunity for anyone wishing to develop or refresh a regular meditation practice in a supportive retreat environment. For those new to meditation, it is an opportunity to build your confidence, receive encouragement, and ask those questions you think everyone else already knows the answer to! For people with experience, it will provide an overview, context and skilful tools that will enhance your existing practice as well as supporting you in any future retreats you attend.

Together we will study and practice the meditation on breathing, one of the oldest and most effective practices known, that has been taught and practiced continuously since the time of the Buddha. It is a rich meditation that supports our experience of inter-connectedness with all of life by developing focus, calm and clarity of mind. The practice is founded on, and naturally supports, a commitment to living an ethical life. It is designed to lead us gradually and skilfully from wherever we are right now, to the full experience of healing and freedom made possible through meditation.

This retreat is facilitated by Chani Grieve, Mark Schrader and Kath Mitchell, who have been teaching and evolving this course together for over 5 years.

Further details will be posted soon. If you would like to pre-register for this retreat or be kept in the loop, please email Chani
