Ven. Vimokkha excels at teaching mindfulness and vipassana insight meditation with techniques blending lessons from Thailand’s great masters with his own self-discoveries. Ven. Vimokkha’s teachings are best described as accessible and pragmatic. They are aimed at an immediate direct experience of the nature of mind. His palpable power\, charisma\, and cheerful encouragement make him a truly unique master well-suited for these times. \nVen. Vimokkha pioneered a workplace mindfulness meditation training program used by companies and local government agencies. He travels widely to teach mindfulness meditation in accordance with the four foundations of mindfulness in Buddhist context and he has active students throughout the world\, including Thailand\, Malaysia\, Australia\, the United Kingdom\, the Netherlands\, Switzerland\, Germany\, Italy\, Poland\, Hungary\, Ukraine\, Russia\, and the United States. \n\n\n\nAbout the Retreat:\nThe retreat is themed – Develop Insight in Space –The Space Element in the context of the mind and heart is a powerful concept in meditation and mindfulness practices\, providing a way to cultivate spaciousness in both mental and emotional realms\, thereby leading to greater clarity\, peace\, and insight. \nThe Space Element can be visualized as the vastness within which thoughts arise and dissolve. In recognizing that thoughts are just fleeting phenomena within this mental space\, practitioners can develop a sense of detachment from their mental activity\, enabling a reduction in identification with thoughts and helps in understanding that they are not the true self. \nThe mind can be seen as a boundless space where thoughts\, emotions\, and perceptions arise and cease. Thoughts are allowed to arise and cease without attachment\, fostering a deeper awareness of the mind’s impermanent and transient nature. \nThis silent residential retreat consists of walking and sitting meditation practice. There will also be a daily Dhamma Talk and Q&A session. The teachings are sequential during this retreat\, so casual attendance is not possible. Vegetarian lunches will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoom Bond:\nAccommodations for this retreat will be single occupancy \n\nBSV: $410\nNon-Members: $490\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue and Times:\nSanctuary of Stillness (SOS) Meditation Retreat Centre\, 107 Beaches Lane\, Newbury\, AUSTRALIA \n\nParticipants can arrive at SOS from 5:15pm on Fri 2 January and a light supper will be offered at 6:30pm.\nAn introduction and welcome to the retreat will take place at 7:15pm.\nRetreat concludes at 3pm on Wed 7 January.
