About this Retreat
We face great global challenges from violent racism, to extinction, to global warming. We have never been separate from these events, but they are feeling ever closer to home. When we meet these challenges as sacred practice, our hearts can open on our journey of self-realisation. Equally, when we meet these challenges with an open heart, we can be more effective at bringing about positive change.
This retreat will explore the emotional resources we can bring to our work as compassionate agents of change. Then instead of becoming overwhelmed we can be nourished by our interventions, and our efforts can create nourishing outcomes.
This retreat will involve a combination of interactive workshops and meditation (sitting and walking), Dharma talks, and discussion.

Please bring toiletries/towel, warm clothes and walking shoes for outdoor walks, torch, personal meditation cushion or stool if you prefer your own (cushions will be provided). If you are bringing a child or children, please also bring any special foods. Because we will need to accommodate and feed the children we will need to add a fee of $15 per day per child (to cover food and accommodation).
