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. [/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]Start Time: Monday\, 10th Jan\, evening.\nFinish Time: Sunday\, 16th Jan\, 12pm drop off after Brunch \nComplimentary pick up: Monday\, 10th Jan 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\, 16th Jan 12pm back to Golden Bay Visitor Centre\, where the Golden Bay Coachlines bus will pick you up from if traveling from Takaka to Nelson. \n  \nSuggested Donation\nStandard Suggested Donation: NZD $850  \nCamping Suggested Donation: NZD $790  \nIf 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.  \nTo book now and make a donation\, please email us. \n\nSpecial Dietary Requirements: All meals provided are vegetarian.

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.

It is dedicated to people who like to think about living\, its purpose and many issues related to life. The festival endeavours to bring together experts\, thinkers\, intellectuals and practitioners to share the deeper truths about life and its mysteries. This festival aims to bring the benefits of Vedanta and Jnana yoga to the wider community. It is being organized on a not-for-profit basis to spread the awareness of the benefits of Jnana yoga and Vedanta which have been the science of life for centuries.  \n\nThis festival will decipher and examine the understanding of an age-old concept of ‘KARMA’. The festival is a symposium where different viewpoints and perspectives will be shared by experts who are scholars and practitioners.  \n\nThe themes covered:\n·         Good Karma\, Bad Karma: How does it work? – Meaning\, concept\, perspectives of karma by various scholars\n·         Workshops on ‘Significance of karma in Funeral rites’\, Guided meditation: From action to actionlessness\n·         How Karma really works? (Karma according to Vedanta darśan)\n\n\n  \n 2018 Festival theme: KARMA \nKarma is one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts today. Karma means many things to many people\, but how it really works is a real mystery. Every day lots of people across the globe browse the internet to find answers to intriguing questions like ‘Why me?’\, ‘why good people suffer?’\, good Karma\, bad karma etc. We also hear people repeat the cliché ‘what goes around comes around’ which has become part of our daily conversations. Though it is a direct reference to the age-old concept of karma\, its meaning\, import and implications requires deeper understanding.  \nThis festival aims to provide a platform to share\, research and gain more clarity on the dynamics of karma. To decode this concept\, we are inviting experts from the field of Yoga\, Vedanta\, psychology and philosophy. Leading practitioners of Yoga and Vedanta will also conduct workshops on practices that offer a wholistic roadmap to journey through our karmic lives.  \nFestival highlights \n\nFeaturing nine distinguished speakers from Australia\, New Zealand and India who will share their expertise on the wisdom from Yoga and Vedanta traditions \nRound up panel discussions with Q & A \nBreakout workshops on life-knowledge and guided meditation that could transform our practice \nCovering a broad range of topics with a focus on dynamics of karma\, the choices we make and the consequences of our decisions \n\nOpportunity to mingle with speakers\, researchers\, Vedanta and Yoga teachers informally  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSessions Welcome \n2.00 pm \nInauguration\, Welcome and Invocation chants \n\n\nKeynote speech \n2.10 pm \nKeynote speaker \n\n\nPanel discussion \n2.30 pm to 3.45 pm \n\nPanel discussion x 5 speakers with Q&A  \nTopic: Good Karma\, Bad Karma – How does it work?  \nMeaning\, concept\, perspectives of karma by various scholars \n\n\nBreak \n3.45 pm \nTea/coffee break\, Music \n\n\nTwo workshops \n4.15 pm \n\nWorkshop 1: ‘Significance of karma in Funeral rites’  \nWorkshop 2: Guided meditation: From action to actionlessness \n\n\nTalk \n4.45 pm \n\nTalk  \nTopic: How Karma really works?

The methods taught in the training will assist in the release of deep muscular\, mental and emotional tension\, inducing calmness and clarity for a range of life and health situations. \nYoga Nidra\nYoga Nidra is a state of being in which the mind lets go of the external world and turns inwards giving the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society.
