Pixels and Precepts: Finding Stillness In A Connected World
Teacher: Shogan Parker
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R350 surcharge
Dates: Friday 10 July 2026 - Sunday 12 July 2026
We live online - scrolling, swiping, clicking, posting. This weekend retreat offers an opportunity to step away from the constant pull of the digital world and return to something simpler: the breath, the body, and the present moment. We will explore how mindfulness can help us cultivate a healthier relationship with technology - not by rejecting it, but by using it with greater awareness, intention, and freedom. Bring your phone. Bring your habits. Bring your curiosity.

William (Shogan) has been practising meditation for nearly 20 years, cultivating stillness and inquiry. He took precepts with Dae Chong, Osho at Poplar Grove and now leads morning and evening zazen at the BRC, weaving verses from the Dhammapada into meditation for reflection and insight. With a keen interest in how the Dharma might evolve in an AI-driven, multiplanetary future, he embraces both tradition and possibility. He also guides qigong in the mornings and offers tai chi in the afternoons, integrating movement into mindfulness. His practice is an invitation - to sit, to move, and to explore the ever-expanding nature of awareness.
