Detailed List of Retreats

Regaining The Centre

Teacher: Ajahn Sucitto
Cost: 7 days accommodation + R600 surcharge
Dates: Sunday 11 February 2024 - Sunday 18 February 2024

sucittoOur lifestyles seem to require us to direct our attention and energies into an external world that although involving us, also overwhelms and extends beyond our reach. We need to find a steady centre to our lives. Meditation builds internal qualities of calm and steadiness, but the training also encourages a wise focus and response to the external world. From this comes the Middle Way, a dynamic open centre within action and stillness. Finding and abiding in that centre is the theme of the retreat.

The retreat will include periods of sitting, walking and standing, along with qigong and chanting.
