Teacher: Ajahn Jutindharo
Cost: 5 days accommodation + R700 surcharge
Dates:
 Ajahn Jutindharo comes highly recommended by his colleague and friend, Ajhan Sucitto.
Ajahn Jutindharo’s approach is grounded in awareness of our own body, with practices based around body awareness and the breath. He emphasises an open attitude of kindness and curiosity, so that we learn to trust more in that which is already alive, awake and free within us. When we remember how to connect with these wholesome sources, we access a wider range of tools for deepening our understanding, addressing some of the things that we find more challenging, and furthering our exploration.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Ajahn Jutindharo has been a monk in the Ajahn Chah lineage for 35 years and the abbot of a small monastery in Devon, England since 2007. Born in Britain, he has been teaching in the UK since the late 1990s and from time-to-time overseas. Trained as a scientist, in parallel universes he might have been an accountant, architect, psychotherapist or dancer, amongst other things.

 As autumn approaches, we invite you to take a break and join us for an unstructured personal retreat. During your stay, you can enjoy qigong and meditation - to promote relaxation. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space, embracing the art of doing nothing. Imagine cozying up by a warm fire, savouring delicious vegetarian meals, and immersing yourself in silence. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
View teacher details Hide teacher details 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, William 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.
