Meditations for Relaxation: Mini Retreat

Saturday 1 April

Time: 10:00 – 12:30pm

Cost: $24 (free for supporting members)

During this mini retreat, you will be guided through three simple guided meditations which are all forms of breathing meditation. These meditations help calm the mind, reduce stress, and give rise to an experience of inner peace and wellbeing. The first is a basic breathing meditation that helps to disengage the mind from the busyness of everyday life and create a special feeling of inner peace. The second combines mindfulness of the breath with visualization, or creative imagination, and leads to a deep feeling of inner calm and purity. The third is a special breathing meditation that combines mindfulness of the breath with the recitation of mantra. All these meditations can be practised by anyone.

Everyone is welcome!
