SUMMARY:Embodied Wisdom and Compassion: Insight Meditation\, Tai Chi and Qigong Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Teachers: Subhana Barzaghi and Shirsha Marie \nInsight meditation practice explores the whole mind body unity with curiosity and mindfulness. The Buddha claimed that\, ‘Within this fathom long body lies the path to wholeness and awakening.’ \nAs an ancient treasure map the body is a crucible for inner transformation. With mindful\, embodied\, compassionate presence we can untangle and release those knots of tension and contracted identity and find replenishment\, grounding and insight. For life to flourish each one of us must return again and again to the ground and refuge of our own wakeful presence and aliveness. \nQigong is an ancient practice that stems from China and the nature- based philosophy of Taoism. Its traditional self-healing exercises and meditative techniques provide a broad range of both preventative and curative health benefits. \nThe words ‘Qi Gong’ mean energy work\, that is\, the cultivation of vital life energy. The system integrates body\, breath and mind into a harmonious whole through co-ordinating soft flowing movement\, deep rhythmic breathing and a calm meditative state of mind. \nThe schedule includes: sitting & walking meditation periods\, daily meditation instructions\, open inquiry sessions\, Dharma talks and two daily Qigong classes. \nRetreat is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators. \nOpen for bookings here. \nDOWNLOAD WORKSHOP FLYER

SUMMARY:Melbourne Zen Centre Zazenkai
DESCRIPTION:Awakening to the Sound of the Stream Becoming the Whole Sky \n» Download Flyer \nThis workshop weaves Zen practice\, contemplative inquiry\, experiential exercises – and aims to restore wholeness of heart and clarity of mind\, so we can respond wisely and compassionately to the challenges that we face. \nMountains and waters are natural companions for the Zen Way. The sound of the stream and the shape of the mountain awakens us to the one who hears and the insight of interconnected oneness with all of life. \nDogen says: \nI came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than mountains\, rivers\, the great wide earth\, sun\, moon and stars. \nWith this realisation we dispel the illusion of separation between each other and the natural world. Our joyful\, energised commitment to our Bodhisattva vows invigorates us\, as we work towards a more life sustaining world. Realising the way together with the great earth and all sentient beings is the ground for genuine aspiration and wise action. \nTeachers: Subhana Barzaghi & Aladdin Jones \n» Download Flyer

SUMMARY:Embodying Peacemaking: Week-end Zazenkai workshop
DESCRIPTION:with Melbourne Zen Group\nBearing witness has to be done by first entering the state of not knowing. That is\, you are not entering a situation with the feeling that you know what to do\, but entering it like a child\, just being there to listen and to feel with every bone\, with every cell\, with every hair of your body. By feeling what’s happening\, letting the ingredients of the situation arise\, you can take those ingredients to create a healing meal.\nBernie Glassman\, The Three Tenets of Zen Peacemakers\nLions Roar\, 2017 \nIn embodying peacemaking\, we will explore how the essence of the Three Tenets practice of not knowing\, bearing witness and compassionate action\, nurture our inner-outer deep listening and inform peacemaking actions in everyday home\, work\, and social engagement with life. In what ways can it manifest our awakening\, commitment and social action? How might these practices inform our current context of Voice Referendum and urgent climate action?  \nThese are some questions we will explore in a creative experiential Zazenkai-workshop. We will meet at the energetic and sacred place of the Wurundjeri Lands\, near Merri Creek and the sustainable activist works of the CERES community. The Zazenkai form will entail zazen\, walking meditation\, contemplation\, dyad-triad and interactive group exercises\, to foster the embodiment of peacemaking. \nBOOK HERE

SUMMARY:Insight retreat: Deepening Into Stillness
DESCRIPTION:Teachers: Subhana Barzaghi & Alan Bassal \nThe retreat will provide the opportunity to deepen into awakening presence\, being free from the agitations of the thinking mind. When we do experience presence and stillness\, most of us are quickly pulled back into the world of the mind which gets caught up in past and future thoughts. Deepening into stillness allows us to examine and transform the habitual limited patterns of mind that create confusion\, anxiety and suffering. \nThe retreat will support inquiry into what it means to be fully awake\, what takes us out of that state and how to remain more fundamentally present and alive in our daily lives and relationships. \nThe retreat program consists of sitting\, walking & guided meditations\, meditation instruction\, group & individual meetings with teachers\, open inquiry sessions\, evening Dharma talks & morning and afternoon gentle yoga sessions. \nDOWNLOADS:\n» Deepening Into Stillness Flyer (pdf)\n» Download Deepening Into Stillness Registration Form
