RESTORE, RELAX, REJUVENATE

The Heart Insight Meditation group is delighted to advise that that are running full days of silent meditation on the first Saturday each month (except January).

The silent retreat days will be held in the beautiful meditation centre and grounds of the Brisbane Quaker Meeting House in Kelvin Grove. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your practice with the support of other meditators, in a quiet, private and treed setting. The program will alternate between sitting and walking meditations, and will include lunch and tea breaks. The full day will be held in noble silence.

In these times of uncertainty and unrest in the world, we have the opportunity to come together and meditate to show our support for world peace. If this space provides solace for our aching hearts, it has done something. If it is a very small part of a growing cry for humanity to move beyond the greed, hatred and delusion that binds us to war and unkindness to our fellow humans then it has served a wider good. It seems like a small thing, but as the Buddha said “drop by drop the bucket is filled by good intention”.

Please join us online, the second Sunday every month from 6pm-7pm (Brisbane time). We will meditate together in support of world peace, holding vigil for our brothers and sisters effected by war.
