Clarity Weekend Meditation Retreat • Ōtaki
About the Retreat
Experience the clear and spacious nature of your mind. Normally, we are preoccupied by the business of daily life which leaves very little room in our mind. As a result, we feel as if our mind is heavy, dull, tight and limited. However, when the otherwise incessant flow of our distracting thoughts is calmed through concentrating in meditation, our mind becomes unusually lucid, clear and spacious. This experience gives rise to a feeling of deep contentment and wellbeing. We can learn to carry this experience into our daily life.
Taught by Buddhist monk Kelsang Lachpa, the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to experience the stillness of your mind within the tranquil setting of Ōtaki Gorge and the Waihōanga Retreat Centre.
