In this relaxing weekend retreat we will learn how to use meditation on the mind (known as Mahamudra meditation) to experience greater peace, clarity and well-being. Derived from the Buddhist Mahamudra tradition, the meditation on this retreat will lead you on a voyage of exploration of your mind through which you can discover your own inner potential for lasting peace and happiness.

Anyone can learn to meditate. If you are someone who thinks… ‘I can’t meditate because I can’t make my mind settle’. This is exactly what meditation begins to help us to do. Come see for yourself that meditation is not a chore, but is actually highly enjoyable.

When reality does not match up to what we hoped would happen it is easy for disappointment to set in. Our own and others unrealistic expectations can set us up for anger, and discouragement, chip away at our relationships and set us up for a sense of failure. When we begin to let go of expectations, we are also letting go of perfectionism, and our attachment to things having to be a certain way.
