Spend the day with us in quiet contemplation as we investigate—with curiosity and compassion—the reactive habits, confusion and limiting beliefs that interfere with our experiencing mental freedom, well-being and ease.

We will use mindfulness to investigate the nature of our experience: our day will include periods of gentle mindful movement, seated and walking meditation, eating meditation (lunch*), rest, instructions for practice (dharma), Q&A and discussion. We will practice silence in the supportive company of others. 

“Coming to Rest” will be an opportunity to investigate the ways in which we become stuck in cycles of 'doing.' When we can relax our fixation with constant productivity and external validation, we can open ourselves to a natural way of 'being.'

This retreat is designed as a ‘day-long intensive’ to complement the weekly meditation classes here at Stream. However, you do not have to have attended these classes to come and enjoy the retreat. This retreat is suitable for new and experienced meditators.

$45** (inc HST) In-Person or Online
