The Inner Rhythm of Being
Six-Day Insight Meditation Retreat
Friday July 29th - Thu 25th 2024 - Wilton, NSW 
with ​Alan Bassal and Renata Malinauskas

"Within this fathom-long body and mind is found all of the teachings." Buddha
This six-day silent residential retreat offers the opportunity for you to experience the teachings of the Buddha using the body as a gateway for insight and freedom.
The retreat will guide you in cultivating embodied self-awareness, rediscovering the organic rhythm of your being as a source of clarity and profound freedom. Connecting and trusting your inner rhythm becomes a foundation, empowering you to face life's challenges with intimacy, balance and ease.
The program will consist of various practices.  At the core will be Insight Meditation practices which include guided meditation, walking meditation and talks reflecting the teachings of the Buddha. These will be supported by somatic practices (the Greek word soma means the body). These practices are designed to deepen the connection between body and mind as a way to support awakening, concentration and ease of body-mind-heart. 
We will also be offering Mindful Movement sessions with music. These sessions are adapted from Biodanza, a deep methodology that supports learning to dance with life and rediscovering vitality and the pleasure of living.
