About the Teacher:

Ajahn Brahmavaṃso, commonly known as Ajahn Brahm, is a highly respected and popular Buddhist teacher with a growing international following. He is known for his teachings on meditation and for helping people develop a deeper spiritual understanding. Ajahn Brahm is also the founding father of an emerging Australian forest tradition of Buddhist monasticism, which remains true to the original teachings of the Buddha (Dhamma) and monastic discipline (Vinaya).

Born in Britain, Ajahn Brahm was ordained in 1974 and trained under the renowned Thai Forest Tradition teacher, Ajahn Chah. He is currently the Abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery in Serpentine, Western Australia, and serves as an adviser or patron to several Buddhist organizations, including the Buddhist Society of Victoria (BSV) in Australia, as well as others in Singapore and the UK.

About the Retreat:

This silent residential retreat consists of walking and sitting meditation practice. There will also be daily Dhamma Talk and Q&A session. The teachings are sequential during this retreat and so casual attendance is not possible.

Vegetarian lunches will be provided.
