OUR WEEKLY THURSDAY NIGHT MEDITATION GROUP
Tweed Coast, NSW
Please note that our Thursday Night Meditation Group will have its last session for the year on Thursday 18th December 2025. We will resume in the New Year – Thursday 15th January 2026.
Recognizing the challenge of maintaining an ongoing meditation practice; the need for ‘practical wisdom perspectives’ in dealing with the stress and issues of contemporary life; the opportunity to check-in with a well-practiced Meditation Teacher; and the benefits of group support with like-minded people; through WELL-AWARE-NESS, John Barter provides a weekly Mindfulness and Wisdom based Meditation Group at his property on the Tweed Coast.
Our group runs every Thursday evening 6:30 – 7:30pm (NSW Time) at Ratanagiri – 11 Double View Road, Farrants Hill, NSW 2484.
If you are coming for the first time please email John at info@wellawareness.com.au or text 0400 022 048.
Please bring your own water bottle, pen and notebook. With the hour session we will have a 30 minute Meditation and then 30 minutes of Wisdom Reflections with questions. It will be wonderful again to meet up as a group and to continue our Meditation and Mindfulness practice, together with some Wisdom Reflections.
This Meditation Group runs for one hour, and is structured as follows:
The first half-hour John guides a Mindfulness based Meditation. The second half hour some reflections and teachings on applying practical wisdom for living consciously, while learning and growing through our experience of Life. These reflections often come from John’s understanding of the Buddha’s teachings, his own experience of Buddhist Monastic life, and the application of psycho-spiritual perspectives to daily living.
