22 October 2018 Dharma Brisbane daylong retreat flyer
An opportunity for intensive group practice (no instruction). Any mode of silent meditation may be practiced. Participants are welcome to come for the morning only (leaving at lunch time) or for the full day. Please see schedule on page 2 of the attached flyer.
The Heart Practices of metta (loving-kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (joy), and upekkha (equanimity) are fundamental to the Buddhist path. They are also part of how we share what it means to be human, in connection with ourselves and others. This daylong will link these traditional practices with wisdom that relates to daily life.
Open to all, including those who are new to meditation. There will be periods of meditation, group discussion, and interactive practices, led by Lulu Cook and Lyndi Smith.
Registration is $20 – $40 at the door, please consider giving generously to offset expenses and attendance for those who are financially constrained. There will also be an opportunity to offer a donation to the teachers on the day. Please let us know if you’re concerned about the registration cost, as no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
Please bring a healthy dish to share for lunch if you’d like; or take-away is available close by.
Registration limited; pre-register at: http://bit.ly/2mMiBBj
