7 day Pre-Easter Retreat at Yarra Junction
The first meditation retreat lead by Ian Gawler for a couple of years!
This is a unique retreat program offered as a regenerative meditation process amid the tranquil forest surrounds of the Yarra Valley; a combination of instruction and practice based on Ian's book Meditation An In-Depth guide co-authored with Paul Bedson.
It is of medium intensity with 4-5 hours meditation practice per day. The longest session will be 40 minutes. Participants will be supported to work within their own abilities. And it would be good for beginners as well as those who are experienced. This pre-easter retreat is specifically timed to provide participants with a gentle pathway back into daily life over the Easter period. An experience in the beautiful environment of the forest on the Little Yarra River at the Yarra Valley Living Centre.
The program will include regular teaching on meditation, regular guided and group meditations and good time for questions and free time. High quality, organic vegetarian food will be served. Optional walking meditation and yoga will also be available.
Facilitated each day by Ian and Ruth Gawler, a great team, who have many years of experience in keeping the atmosphere practical, transformative, gentle, well supported and enjoyable!
This is the only meditation retreat that Ian Gawler is offering in 2012 and would be very welcomed by those who attended Meditation in the Desert and Meditation by the Beach. Ian is a wonderful authentic meditation teacher and this retreat is ideal for those with an interest in Mind-Body Medicine and those who want to personally learn from him.
