Product Description
Overview
Run by the Melbourne Meditation Centre and held in peaceful and picturesque surroundings not far from Warburton, this retreat provides an opportunity for rest and relaxation along with a chance to explore and develop your meditation and mindfulness practice in unique and innovative ways. You’ll also enjoy delicious vegetarian food, good company and plenty of time to rest, read or walk. The retreat is run in a friendly, light-hearted and informal style, and includes opportunities to practice mindful movement, including yin yoga and qi gong.
The retreat is suitable for both beginning and advanced meditators. Rather than teaching you specific meditation techniques, the team invite you to meditate in your own way. They offer support and ideas on how to explore and refine your meditation practice and how to work more skillfully with thoughts and emotions.

Good For
Those interested in exploring thought-and-emotion-friendly meditation practices in a gentle, relaxed style.
Programmes & Offerings
On retreat, there will be periods of sitting meditation, talks and group discussion. New perspectives are further explored in small group and individual interviews facilitated by the teachers. There will also be time to walk, read and take time off, along with daily relaxation sessions and gentle movement/yoga practices.
Please note that outside of talks, group discussions and group interviews the retreat is conducted in silence. This doesn’t mean that you can’t talk; but it does mean that you are encouraged to respect the wishes of other participants for quiet (especially in and around the dorm rooms, within the meditation hall and in the dining area and kitchen).
