SUMMARY:Mind in Comfort and Ease | An Easter meditation retreat with Dr Ian Gawler
DESCRIPTION:Online and in person in Sydney\, Melbourne\, Adelaide\, Brisbane and Newcastle\nWe invite you to spend this Easter bringing your mind home in the supportive company of a community of meditators\, to go deeply into the practice of shamatha (calm abiding or peacefully remaining) meditation. Spend four days letting your mind settle naturally and simply resting in pure awareness. \nThe gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself. It is only through meditation that you can discover your true nature and find the stability and confidence you will need to live and die well.  \nGenerally\, we waste our lives\, distracted from our true selves\, in endless activity. Meditation is the way to bring us back to ourselves\, where we can really experience and taste our full being\, beyond all habitual patterns. \nJoin us at one of our city centres each day for: \n\nTalks about the practice and benefits of meditation\nGuided shamatha meditation practices\nTime for contemplation\nBreak periods in supportive silence\nQuestion and answer sessions where you can clarify your practice\n\nIan Gawler will be presenting in person at our Melbourne centre\, with all sessions streamed live to all our city centres. \nAbout Dr Ian Gawler  \nDr Ian Gawler\, is a retired veterinarian\, long term cancer survivor and international best-selling author who has written and taught widely on meditation for over 30 years.
