Joy of Being

Weekend retreat
7 pm Fri 15 October
– 2 pm Sun 17 October
Tara Hills Retreat Centre

Without realising it, we often look outside of ourselves to the people and situations around us in order to feel good.

As our feelings are a part of our own life it is possible to take our emotional well-being into our own hands. One of the pillars of the 2 ½ millennia old meditation tradition are the exercises in using the breath to create pleasure. Through these exercises we can learn to nurture and sustain ourselves emotionally and rekindle an easily forgotten feeling: joy

In April (over the ANZAC long weekend) we will be running the retreat over 4 nights and days. The longer version of the retreat will make it possible to explore and practise the meditations in greater depth.

In all retreats we practise techniques that are useful in the retreat situation and can also be applied to everyday life. We aim to teach in a way that lets you link the experiences and understanding of meditation throughout your life.
