Program For The Day:
 

Relaxation Breath-Work

We start the day with  relaxation exercises and breath-work to calm the nervous system and overcome stress and anxiety. You will learn how to use breathing techniques to clear away stress, relax the body and prepare the mind for meditation.

Mindfulness
 Mindfulness is the foundation of a calm, clear and healthy mind and is at the core of meditation practice. You will learn about the process and stages of mindfulness along with how to use mindfulness to overcome stress and anxiety and find peace.

Loving Kindness

Learn and practice loving kindness meditations to cultivate love, compassion, forgiveness and deep acceptance of yourself and others. Developing a loving presence within meditation training is both physically and emotionally healthy.

Divine Confidence 

You will learn Tantra methods of imagining yourself as enlightened energy - a powerful way to take the result on the path and see yourself as whole and complete. 

Bliss
There will be teachings and guided practice on  Inner Fire Meditation which is a powerful meditation to connect with bliss, heal the body and easily achieve deep insights into your true self. 

Non-Dual Effortless Meditation

There will be teachings on how to deconstruct limiting self beliefs, and guided practice into connecting with the profound peace and stillness of non-dual awareness. 

There will be guidance into the essence of being, the natural simplicity of pure awareness. With pointing out instructions on how to embody your innate perfection with effortless meditation.

This last session will focus on the direct path of awakening and you will learn how to directly meditate with the essential awakened nature of your own being. 

DISCUSSIONS / Q&A

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and clear up any doubts or confusion about any of the ideas discussed or the methods.

The program is based around the three ways to develop the wisdom of meditation:
 

1) Listening to meditation teachings 

2) Discussing & Contemplating  

3) Practicing the methods

The retreat day will provide a  safe place for group discussion and deep inquiry into the ideas and methods around meditation. The discussions will draw on the collective wisdom of the group framed by  deep respect for all participants.

"Thanks so much for the gift of attending your retreat. It was wonderful! You shared your wisdom in a way that was easy to understand and appreciate. I'm inspired to attempt daily meditation because the experiences I had on the day were fantastic and so much more enjoyable than when I try meditation on my own.The retreat was way more than meditation. I gained insight and appreciation of me, others and the universe - and the food was great too! Thank you." ~ Danielle

" I just have to express huge Gratitude to Chad and Andrea for the amazing retreat day they put together today! Can't recommend it enough to anyone able to attend in future. Very well put together..the perfect blend of meditation practises with some very advanced teachings mixed in. Stunning location. Came away feeling completely reset. Such a beautiful mix of minds in attendance too. Namaste 🙏"  - Monique O'Rourke

"I'm floating on a meditative cloud enhanced by our shared time. You took me places I have not previously gone and I am enjoying the personal challenges which arose ... 30 years meditating and I am still learning about myself and my connection to the universe. I'm a bit of a ' RULES Sceptic' so I aligned with your gentle yet 'jelly' firm style which allowed me to be fully absorbed/engaged in our process. Well done and Yahoooo! 

Namaste and loving hugs." ~ Ric.

"You led the group skilfully and mindfully, and made ancient teachings accessible to all of us, irrespective of our level of experience. I had a wonderful day of clarity and peace, and have been using lots of the techniques you taught us, especially the breathing. It calms my nervous system down instantly." ~ Allie

"I have just completed a one day retreat with Chad Foreman together with a good size mixed group of different levels of meditation experience. The retreat was well organised in a great venue, proved excellent value and am so much more familiar with meditation for it. Would highly recommend to anybody at any stage in their meditation practice and hope to sit together with Chad again soon.  Great Work. Thank you." ~ Kirk

"Good meditation workshops and retreats are hard to come by... I am generally wary of 'mindfulness' retreats and workshops run by yoga teachers or life coach types taking advantage of the growing interest in meditation without genuine meditation experiences and knowledge of the wisdom traditions to back their offerings. On the other end of the spectrum, I have attended meditation retreats with traditional approaches by ordained teachers. However, I did not hesitate with Chad Foreman's offerings. His journey through the Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition and outside of that path only lend volumes to his approach to encourage everyone into the way to meditation and with this inclusive perspective, he offers genuine 'mindfulness' meditation practice delivered in up-to-date plain and easy to understand terms for the new contemporary meditator to benefit."

"Chad holds the space well, making room for all levels of experience and gives all the relevant supporting spiritual context attributed to those age-old traditions, so that you can trust the process of using these tools and techniques, and yet be confident to rest in your own subjective experiences at where you are." ~ Lin

"I truly loved the retreat and was inspired on so many levels.  I’m so happy that you stuck to your guns after your time as a monk and that your good intentions and actions are contributing to greater well being in the world. It's great to be witnessing this." ~ Sabine
