Beginning Now! An Introductory Meditation Retreat
January 7th - 12th At The Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre Where do I start?
I’ve never done a retreat before. There is so much going on in the world. How can meditation really help me and others? I wish my busy mind could be more quiet and calm. Silent for 5 days- how could anyone do that? |

Want to learn to meditate? Perhaps you’ve tried and need some more skills as well as some extra encouragement? Or possibly, you wish to deepen your practice and simply drop into 5 days of meditation. If this sounds like you, then this retreat will support you to explore this.

The Individual Vehicle is like walking to India.
The Altruistic Vehicle is like driving to India.
The Transformative Vehicle is like taking a rocket ship to India.

Have you tumbled down a rabbit hole into the strange interior world of Dharma study and practice? Are you finding your curiosity, your awareness of falling into ethical potholes and your repeating emotional patterns increasing?
This retreat is for those with some dedicated experience of practice who are feeling a deep imperative to awaken quickly for the benefit of all sentient beings. It assumes a certain maturity of view and commitment . . . . . . or possibly an uninformed willingness to try new adventures, fuelled by understanding that the dire state of life on Earth is more compelling than airing one’s own opinions.
