Deepen your experience of the Buddha’s teachings by participating in our December residential retreat at the beautiful Maitripa Centre in Healesville. This retreat offers participants the opportunity to develop techniques for integration into every day life and to release the emotional baggage of the conditioned mind. Participants will be guided to go beyond the ordinary way of thinking to explore, practice and develop skills to cut through a mind of barriers to leading an awakened reality.

Participants will be facilitated through a range of techniques, as the four main pillars of practice necessary to overcome our obstacles are explored. These practice areas are referred to as The Four Powers:

1 – the power of regret,

2 – the power of reliance,

3 – the power of remedy,

4 – the power of resolve.

We hope you can join other Sangha friends in this personal development opportunity and practice of the sacred Dharma. We look forward to sharing the journey with you at this wonderful venue located in the Upper Yarra Valley.  Maitripa is set on 50 acres of forest and gardens established early in the twentieth century with beautiful walks, vistas.
