Mettā Meditation Retreat – Monday, 3rd to Sunday, 9th August @Origins Centre, Balingup. Mettā is healing our relationship to life experiences and to the human and natural worlds. This retreat offers plenty of space for personal reflection, rest, and respite, along with meditative training. The meditation is taught in the tradition of four stages as the building blocks of Mettā and includes: re-establishing connection to the seeds of tenderness; opening the doorways of universal friendliness, an all-encompassing kindness; taking willing responsibility for the work of healing and transformation into our own hands; and Metta to our influences. These stages are explored in a grounded and practical way, supporting both personal insight and everyday application. It is through graduated practice that our natural Mettā state is cultivated and matures. Previous experience with mindfulness is essential to attend this retreat. Developing our Mettā state is challenging, opening the doorway to personal experiences that require the support of our capacity for self-regulation and the calm and peacefulness of our mindfulness. Places are available. To join us for the retreat, please complete the registration form here at Registration form Metta Meditation Retreat or message Sonam at tiglehouse@gmail.com
Vajrayana Retreat, 23rd to 29th November. Vajrayāna, the Tibetan Buddhist vehicle, weaves a tapestry of our love for the sacred and the dance of hearts and minds into compassionate activity, embedding it into the living memory of our humanity through visualisation, symbolism, ceremony, story, and history. Retreatants receive guidance in preparing for and participating in the Wongkur (ceremonial empowerment) of a Deva from the Tibetan Pantheon, along with Sadhana meditation and personal practice.
