Insight Meditation and Yoga Retreat
17-22 May 2013, Bali Mountain Retreat Centre
This unique retreat of 6 days and 5 nights duration will be led by Will 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.
Mt Batukaru is
the second highest mountain in Bali and Bali Mountain Retreat Centre
set amidst coffee, cocoa and spice plantations has panoramic views down
to the ocean. The air is fresh, the water is directly fed from a spring
on the mountain and the creeks and waterways are pristine. You will
welcome the refreshing and revitalizing mountain air, sparkling spring
fed water and rural Balinese culture.
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.
This retreat offers an ideal opportunity for established meditators to deepen their practice. Those new to meditation can experience a valuable but gentle introduction to silent meditation & the Dharma teachings in a welcoming, supportive environment. The combination of Insight meditation, Yoga and an idyllic environment combine to open our hearts and deepen our understanding.
