FALL INTO SILENCE
Sunday, November 13, 2011
Step away from the never-ending to-do lists, traffic jams and all your mental noise and enter s i l e n c e .
This one-day retreat will take both beginners and experienced meditators into a deep exploration of the inner calm that quietly dwells within each one of us. Our focus will be on a few specific styles of Meditation and Qi Gong: simple, practical yet highly effective techniques that will subtly but powerfully change your approach to the everyday. Led by experienced instructors, grow familiar with the movements and settle into a moment-to-moment awareness where clarity, positivity and insight combine in a naturally relaxed, peaceful state. A few designated times will be set aside for questions and clarification, with the majority of the day spent in companionable silence, foregoing ordinary chatter in order to see what lies underneath.
The day will start with an optional Yoga class and culminate with a talk by the Venerable Khenchen Rinpoche, who has brought rare meditation and mindfulness insights to students worldwide for more than 30 years.
The full cost of 3000NT but discounts are available. Sign up with a friend and each person gets $500 off. Sing up with two friends and get a total of 2000 dollars off. Work exchanges are also available.
The location is a quiet and elegant Zen center near Daan MRT station. The retreat will begin at 9am and finish after dinner in the early evening. Both lunch and dinner are included in the cost and will be excellent vegetarian meals. For more information, please log onto EastWestCultureProject.org We look forward to seeing you! the EWCP crew
