Weekend Meditation Retreat
“ Be Still, Look within, Rest into the core of your Being. Peace and Contentment is your Essence.”
A Meditation Retreat is a wonderful opportunity to quietly look within. When we retreat from the world of our normal everyday lives, the workings of the mind can be more easily seen. Identification with conceptual belief patterns can be released, revealing a Silence and Stillness that is full of love and peace, the Essence of our Being.
Weekend Retreats are a great introduction to meditation for beginners and are a convenient way for those experienced in meditation to do some intensive practice, bringing together like-minded individuals, and creating an energy and community where one’s meditation practice and inquiry into Life can further deepen and become firmly established.
