Pixels And Precepts: Navigating Mindfulness And Technology
Teacher: Shogan ParkerCost: 2 days accommodation + R350 surchargeDates:
We live online - scrolling, swiping, clicking, posting. Tech isn’t optional anymore; it’s the air we breathe. But what if the same devices that fragment our attention could also wake us up? This retreat goes straight into the digital fire. Phones and devices aren’t banned - they are part of the practice. We will meditate with them, use them, and examine the way they wire our choices and shape our sense of self. Expect meditation, silent reflection, mindful app use, and sharp discussion. Expect to see your habits in the light of the Noble Eightfold Path: algorithms meet Right View,
social feeds meet Right Speech, endless scrolling meets Right Concentration. You won’t leave with a digital detox - you will leave with a retooled relationship. Your device will carry a new homescreen: curated apps, links, and practices that help, technology serve awakening instead of scattering it. Bring your phone. Bring your habits. Bring your curiosity.View teacher detailsWilliam (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. -

No Cure For You: If Buddha Were Your Psychoanalyst
Teacher: Dr Jason RossCost: 4 days accommodation + R450 surchargeDates:
Through a merging of concepts from Existential Psychoanalysis and Secular Buddhism, this retreat explores Buddhism as a form of therapeutic living and will take us from the concept of inherent “lack” (sunyata), through “longing” (“tanha”), to “love” (metta). Along this journey, we will consider the implications of the Buddhist notion of “non-self” (anatta) for the practice of psychotherapy and its practical application to our everyday lives. This retreat involves philosophical discussion, therapeutic engagement, a variety of sitting practices, walking meditation, basic yoga (no experience needed), written reflection and group discussion. It is an ideal retreat for those interested in a practical, therapeutic and atheist (non-soteriological) approach to Buddhism.View teacher detailsDr Jason Ross is a practising psychologist with a PhD in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis from the Global Centre of Advanced Studies. He takes a critical stance towards conventional psychology and its ideas of what it means to be supposedly normal. He proposes a move away from its impoverished language of diagnosing individual experience and a return to a more embodied, socially embedded, poetic and philosophical engagement with our struggles. He campaigns for a psychology that is more interested in providing a therapeutic experience than attempting to explain our problems away. He is particularly sceptical of Psychology’s more recent incorporation of “mindfulness” into its methodology, viewing this as a contradiction of the Buddhist philosophy from which “mindfulness” originally emerged. His work, therefore, attempts to do justice to the existential philosophical thread that runs through most Buddhist teachings, merging this with an existential psychoanalytic method. Jason was first introduced to Buddhism through the teachings of Rob Nairn and Louis Van Loon in the 90’s, and his hope is to pay tribute to the legacy of these teachings. He is currently most influenced by the work of Stephen Batchelor and David Loy. -
