Remembering the Present: An Online Retreat Friday 10 – Sunday 19 May 2024
The Buddha’s way of practice centres on mindfulness, the felt continuity of awareness over time. This practice style applies equally to any and every activity, including the most mundane. Mindfulness is not a practice confined a specialised Dharma Hall or to particular meditation exercise. It is as applicable to preparing dinner as it is to sitting in a special posture on a cushion.
An online retreat is a domestic retreat, one carried out in our own unique circumstances in the midst of the everyday. We come together at certain times of day for instruction, discussion and group practice, then separate to apply our practice to our individual lives. In this way we bridge the gap between the dharmic and the domestic. We discover that the way of everyday life is also the way of awakening.
Costs: We have created a new and more complex pricing structure, designed to make the retreat cheaper for those who are under financial stress. Any questions? Contact Alex, the Retreat Manager.
Benefactor: $350
The Benefactor option is for those who have a higher income or who want to contribute to the funding of those who cannot afford the standard cost. This option includes three interviews.
General: $250
This includes full-time retreat attendance (with three interviews) at an unadjusted price.
Concession: $150
The Concession option grants full participation including three interviews, but at a lower cost. Consider yourself eligible for a concession if paying the full price would cause financial issues. To discuss deeper discounts contact the manager.
Independent: $200
The Independent option is only for experienced practitioners who want full participation but without any individual interviews. It requires approval from the teacher (via the retreat manager) before payment will be accepted.
You can adjust the cost depending on your financial circumstances. Simply type in the amount you want to pay in the box to the right (it should say 200 to begin with).
Weekend: Benefactor: $100; Standard $50; Concession $0.
The Weekend option gives full participation ending on Sunday night – in other words, it ends before interviews begin.
