Insight Meditation and Yoga Retreat
21 - 27 May 2023 at Bali Mountain Retreat Centre
This unique retreat will be led by
Will and Angela McGee and held at Bali
Mountain
Retreat Centre located high on the slopes of Mount
Batukaru in Central Bali. This idyllic retreat environment will enable
you to relax and unwind and provide the opportunity to inquire into
what it means to live in a free and liberated way. Go
to registration form.
In 2023 we will continue this combination with Angela McGee teaching the Yoga.
Angela strongly believes that the ancient practices and teachings of the Yoga sutras are completely alive and relevant to contemporary life and can in combination with the Buddha’s teachings act as a guide to the potential for our liberation and freedom from suffering.
2023 will mark the 8th annual Bali Mountain Retreat, with a greater inclusion and emphasis on Balinese spiritual culture, including:
- Welcoming ceremony with a local priest;
- the making of traditional ceremonial puja offerings to take to the local forest temple;
- participation in traditional Balinese ceremony led by Balinese priests;
- a night of Joged Bumbung dance; and
- the full Joged Bumbung dance includes at least 12 musicians and 2 dancers.

Insight Meditation, known as Vipassana in the Theravada Buddhist tradition engages in the practice of ethics, mindfulness, depths of meditation, opening of the heart and wisdom teachings. Insight Meditation allows a deep inquiry into this unfolding life, with all its difficulties and joys. An inquiry into our relationship to what arises in our day to day; be it pleasant or unpleasant and the freedom that is available when we bring understanding and awareness to each experience.
Yoga
Angela McGee began Yoga teaching
23
years ago after training in the Sivananda tradition. Shortly after
she
came across the teachings of Krishnamacharya and studied in
Australia
and India with Krishnamacharya's son, T.K.V Desikachar. Angela
believes
the ancient wisdom teachings of the Yoga Dharma are completely alive
and relevant to contemporary life and to freedom and liberation.
Angela teaches Yoga therapeutically with an emphasis on one - one teaching, discovering how Yoga can fit the individual rather than the individual fit the Yoga. She also teaches in corporate and community settings and has trained and guided teachers and leads a sangha in the Krishnamacharya lineage.
Alongside her Yoga path, Angela is also a Dharma teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition.
