SUMMARY:Power of Awareness Silent Meditation Gathering
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]This 6-day meditation gathering with Swami Anandakumar & Swami Kailash provides an opportunity to travel to your own centre\, to find the stillness within\, discover that your own inner nature is unchanging and connect to your higher source. \nThe gathering offers the unique opportunity to explore tools that will help you to truly find peace\, happiness\, clarity\, perspective on the whole of life and spiritual transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8529″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]This silent meditation gathering offers a unique chance for you to go into a space of silence to begin or deepen your meditation practice depending on your previous experience. Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. Whilst Power of Awareness can be attended as a stand-alone gathering\, we highly recommend attending our Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi Gathering to prepare the body\, mind and energy to go deeper into meditation. If you choose to book both the Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi & Power of Awareness Gatherings as a package\, you will receive one free night of meals and accommodation in between the two gatherings \n\n\n\nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself. It’s a jumping-off point for a deeper self-discovery. \nThe focus of this inspiring gathering is on Awareness in Meditation. And it will help to answer some essential questions. \n\nWhat is meditation?\nWhat is its purpose?\nHow do we practise it properly?\nHow do we maintain our meditation practice\nWhat are the benefits that meditation can accrue for us in daily life?\n\nThis gathering is suitable for:\n• For all sincere students\, seekers\, and spiritual adventurers.\n• To develop and extend your regular meditation practice of finding the answers within the self.\n• Each meditation experience is unique with the potential to go deeper each time. \nIf you are interested\, read our 5 Reasons to attend a Silent Meditation Gathering\, check out our interview with Swami Anandakumar or our Silent Meditation Gathering Reflections blogposts.

Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. \nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself. It’s a jumping off point for a deeper self-discovery. \nThe focus of this inspiring retreat is on Awareness in Meditation. And it will help to answer some essential questions. \n\nWhat is meditation?\nWhat is its purpose?\nHow do we practise it properly?\nHow do we maintain our meditation practice\nWhat are the benefits that meditation can accrue for us in daily life?\n\nThis course is suitable:\n• For all sincere students\, seekers\, and spiritual adventurers.\n• To develop and extend your regular meditation practice of finding the answers within the self.\n• Each meditation experience is unique with the potential to go deeper each time. \nIf you are interested\, read our Blog 5 Reasons to attend a Silent Meditation Retreat written by Mahima who attended this retreat with Swami Anandakumar in India OR check out our interview with Swami Anandakumar. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8530″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nSchedule:\nStart Time: Thursday morning 11th November\nFinish Time: 12pm on Sunday 14th November \nComplimentary pick up: Wednesday 10th November 6:10pm\, Golden Bay Visitor Centre\, where the Golden Bay Coachlines bus will drop you off if traveling to Takaka from Nelson. \nComplimentary drop off: Sunday 14th Nov 11am back to Golden Bay Visitor Centre\, where the Golden Bay Coachlines bus will pick you up from if traveling from Takaka to Nelson.\n \n3x daily meditation sessions (thurs\, fri\, sat + a final session on the Sunday) \nDaily Session Times: \n\n9:30-11:00am NZ (8-9am NSW)\n11:30-12:30pm NZ (9:30-10:30 AEST)\n5:00-6:00pm NZ (3-4:00 AEST)\n\n \n\n\nInvestment: \nIn-Person Prices: \n\nRetreat with camping accommodation: NZ $655\nRetreat with in-house accommodation: NZ $695\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + bedding hire: NZ $725\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + transport: NZ $725\nRetreat with in-house accommodation + transport + bedding hire: NZ $755\nAdditional extra – Weds night accommodation with dinner and breakfast (Saturday morning): NZ $75\n\nOnline: \n\nOnline Retreat: NZ $250 (The online retreat will only include the 3x daily Meditation sessions + a final session on Sunday.

SUMMARY:Build Resilience: Yoga & Meditation Retreat at Tauhara Retreat Centre
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nAre you wanting to improve your ability to withstand life’s challenges? Do you wish you had a greater capacity to cope and adapt to adversity? Are you wanting to intentionally respond to life rather than react? Luckily\, our inner resilience is a natural part of who we are and is a trait that we can strengthen\, cultivate and build upon. \n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1340″ img_size=”600×400″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\nResilience is our ability to come back to our centre\, to rebound from adversity and to respond to a challenge in a creative way. Resilience is vital; without it\, we wouldn’t survive the accumulated hardships\, transitions\, and stressful situations that are present in even the most privileged people’s lives. The change we are all facing on some level due to the Covid-19 pandemic can be difficult to navigate with grace. Join us for our annual Tauhara Retreat to strengthen your body\, mind\, energy and nervous system during this time of uncertainty and learn tools to take into your daily life. Our ability to adapt\, adjust\, accommodate and find a new way forward requires us to step into our inner source of resilience. \nThe weekend includes theory\, yoga\, breathing\, meditation and chanting practices as well as self- reflection exercises to help cultivate resilience. Yoga builds resilience in the body and mind by introducing small amounts of stress in a controlled scenario. This can then be mirrored off of the yoga mat\, in our everyday lives. For example\, the next time you’re experiencing frustration toward a family member or current situation\, you might find it easier to come back to the breath and respond rather than react. We will identify why resilience is important\, how the practices of yoga & meditation can help to create the relaxation response and why it’s important in this day and age. \nAll bodies and levels of experience are welcome. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nThe Retreat Programme Includes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\nTechniques to train the body and mind to respond rather than react \nWays to calm the nervous system through yogic practices like yoga nidra and pranayama\nPractices to Create new neural pathways that favour equanimity and resilience\nSupport to Raise your vital energy so your batteries are charged enough to face whatever arises in life\nMindfulness Techniques to develop positive attitudes in front of life\nHatha Yoga and Breathing sequences to calm the system and simultaneously strengthen it\nDeep Relaxation with Yoga Nidra and Restorative practices\nConnect and share with a community of like-minded people\nSoak in the hot pools (optional extra)\n\n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThe Retreat Venue\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Tauhara Retreat & Conference Centre\, 60 Acacia Heights Drive\, Taupo \nCheck in and registration from 3pm Friday \n\n4.30pm Hatha Yoga Class\n6pm dinner\n\nFinish Time: 2pm Sunday \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nAdditional Information\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nINVESTMENT:\nStandard Price: NZ$475 per person shared indoor accommodation.
