Befriending the Mind

Led by Jill Shepherd

One day meditation workshop

9:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday 15 July 2017

One common misperception of meditation is that it aims to stop thinking. However, the aim of insight meditation is to develop a more skilful relationship to every aspect of our experience, including our thoughts and emotions.

During this one-day workshop, we will explore ways to befriend the mind, to let go of unhelpful mental habits, and to cultivate helpful ones: states of heart and mind that lead to greater ease, happiness, and freedom.
Most of the day will be spent practising silent sitting and walking meditation, with some guided meditation, dyad (pairs) meditation, and opportunities for individual meetings with the teacher.

This retreat is suitable for people who have some familiarity with mindfulness and/or insight meditation practice.

Location: Our Lady’s Home of Compassion, 2 Rhine St Island Bay Wellington

Cost: $45 + dana*
