Coming Home to the Heart

Discover an Ocean of Peace Within

We often say “home is where the heart is” - and never is this more true than when, through meditation, we bring our awareness home to our heart centre, discovering a sense of stillness, joy, and inner peace

In this relaxing three-day guided retreat, we will learn how to use meditation on the mind - known as Mahamudra meditation - to gently guide ourselves back to the stable ground of our heart centre, opening our heart to greater peace, love, and connection with others.

We will also be introduced to the Buddhist practice of Heart Jewel. These essential practices help prepare the mind for Mahamudra meditation by setting a positive motivation, releasing negativity, and filling the mind with inspiration and positive energy.

Everyone welcome!
