SUMMARY:NEXT MEDITATION RETREAT – APRIL 2023
DESCRIPTION:The opportunity to take time out of the busy-ness of our contemporary lives can be an invaluable experience. We all realize the need to take a break\, even knowing that our health and performance will be better for doing so\, yet often we may feel at a loss with regards to how to take a conscious break and retreat from the ways of the world\, if only for a while. \n\n\nWELL-AWARE-NESS has responded to this need by offering both short and longer term Meditation Retreats. During his monastic life as a Buddhist monk\, John Barter (JAVANO)\, both participated in and also led and taught Meditation Retreats. These included participating in a three month retreat each year and as a senior monastic in Europe leading and teaching Meditation Retreats. \n\nNEXT MEDITATION RETREAT – APRIL 2023: \nSunday 30th April – 9.20am for a 9:30am start\, finishing at 3.00pm (NSW Time)\n \nAs places are limited\, please register your attendance by email: info@wellawareness.com.au \nA healthy mind is the greatest gain.
