At some point in any meditation practice, you will be faced with an overactive and willful mind. When you want peaceful calmness, your mind can be agitated, flitting from one idea to the next. By learning how to develop a friendly relationship with your mind, you don’t have to feel like you are fighting with yourself. The retreat will explore awareness: What it is. How to practice it properly. How to maintain Awareness. And what Awareness can do for you in all aspects of your life. Presented by Swami Anandakumar, a highly respected senior meditation teacher at the Bihar School of Yoga with more than 30 years experience.
The retreat will be held at Campfire in the Heart on a quiet rural block south of Alice Springs. There are walking tracks through bush and hills behind the property, and a swimming pool on site. Delicious, nourishing vegetarian meals will be provided. The retreat will commence at 6pm on Friday April 22 and conclude after lunch on Monday April 25. The retreat fee includes teachings, meals, and camping fees. A limited number of single and double rooms are available (additional cost) if you prefer not to camp.
