Ten Day Vipassana Retreat : How To Realise Ever-Present Mindfulness
Jonathan Preboy and Anna Scharfenberg | 10 days 9 -19 January OR 2 days 13 -15 January OR  4 days 15 -19 January

‌

Vipassana (Insight) meditation is based on mindfulness, which is always available, everywhere, without limit or cost. The challenge is how to realise it. Vipassana (Insight) meditation uses mindfulness to search for the mental and emotional patterns that cause suffering in order to learn how to wake up and be fully alive in the present moment.

This retreat follows the original Stages of Insight for ten full days of meditation. The aim of insight meditation is to understand reality, to see things as they really are. The main tool of insight meditation is mindfulness: mindfulness of body, feelings and mind. Retreatants are required to practise approximately ten hours per day (between 5 am and 10 pm), follow the Buddhist precepts and maintain respectful silence throughout the retreat. The BRC staff and teachers will provide their whole-hearted support, including daily reporting, loving-kindness meditation (Metta) and Dhamma talks. Maximum 12 students.

This retreat will overlap with the weekend retreat (13-15 January) and the 4-day retreat (15-19 January)
