Events offered by others


Non-SIM Events Coming up in 2022

Ocean of Breath, Ocean of Love with Ellen Davidson and Lizzie Turnbull
6-day Insight/ Vipassana/ Mindfulness Retreat

In the Anapanasati Sutta we find the Buddha’s guidance on mindfulness of breathing. Following, resting into and enjoying the breath supports an easeful and tranquil way of being. The body relaxes and the mind becomes clear. This is so supportive. We settle, we become peaceful and we learn to release and let go of what is unhelpful, of what prevents wholeness. From this we learn to meet experience in loving presence, skilful understanding and wide-open awareness. 
This silent retreat offers the opportunity to deepen one’s practice and settle into our innate nature. It is suitable for both beginners and more advanced practitioners. The schedule includes guided meditations, Dharma talks, sitting and walking meditation, inquiry and somatic practices.

Where: Sangsurya Retreat Centre at Byron Bay - 95 Old Bangalow Road, Byron Bay NSW 2481
Times: Friday 11 March 2022 3:00 PM - Thursday 17 March 2022 2:00 PM (UTC+11)
