Meditation Retreat-Workshops – registrations are open

Three dates and three iconic locations from which to choose, each offering a programme rich in inner depth. The programmes run from Friday evening until Sunday 10 am.

Transform inner fears and anger, accept the flow of love’s curiosity, avoid greed and envy – explore these known benefits of meditation… deepen your experience and discover ways to establish and maintain a personal practice that works for you…

Meditation retreats include
optional yoga or movement session
optional sound healing session
other optional extras based on location

These Workshop–Retreats combine offerings from wellness, neuroscience, and meditative practices.

Using a simplified neuro-anatomical model through which to deepen meditative practices, the retreat space supports participants in personal journeys towards developing a personal framework to establish and maintain regular practice.

I extend a huge thank you for the generous support which has permitted low registration costs to be possible.

Novel: Umberco Eco’s The Island of the Day Before

Umberto Eco (together with John Deely) are two of the most important philosophers and semioticians that span the latter part of the 20th century and into the early parts of the 21st. Umberto Eco has also written a number of fiction books that are each exceptional pieces of literature, infused with historical, psychological, and philosophical content. The Island of the Day Before is set around the time when the setting of longitude was at its peak. The book provides us with opportunities for geography as well as scientific historical understanding.

9:30 – 11:30 BOOK – Umberto Eco The Island of the Day Before
12:30 – 2:30 ART – focussed on Geometry and Geography

Spiritual Awakening: – Formation and  Personal Development through individualised Spiritual Direction guided by meditation and imagery.

If you are unfamiliar with Spiritual direction, please do check SDI (Spiritual Directors International). Spiritual Direction is a process in which a person seeks guidance and support for their spiritual growth with the help of a mentor or spiritual director. It involves exploring questions of faith, purpose, and connection with the divine, focusing on inner transformation and personal insight. Imagery in spiritual direction serves as a reflective tool to facilitate dialogue, insight and introspection. Symbolic imagery helps uncover personal developmental patterns, spiritual insights, and areas for growth, providing a meditative grounding from which to explore one’s spiritual path.

I offer a 6-month and 12-month package, meeting on a monthly basis (online if too distant to meet in person), with additional contact sessions as negotiated if needed. Cost $260 per monthly session.

For details do have a look at this pdf outline, or contact me to reserve an initial consultation – by email, text +61 490770061, or use my contact form:
