This retreat is suitable for both beginner and experienced meditators. Held in contemplative silence, this retreat draws inspiration from the wisdom of Buddhist psychology and the support of the sacred Mvuleni Mountain (place of rain, and place of openings.) Through the cultivation of meditation practices that will nurture and ground us, we will discover ways to free ourselves from our habitual, fear-based patterns of thinking and behaving. When we embrace our humanness with kind and compassionate awareness, we can move beyond fear, shame and the curse of perfectionism, to discover that the possibility of freedom lies in the next breath! This silent retreat includes sitting and walking meditations, daily sessions of Qigong movement meditation, as well as time for yoga and mindful walks to enhance the integration of body, heart, and mind. There will be short, individual sessions with Sue, as well as time for restorative rest.

Feedback for Sue’s Cooper’s 2016 retreat:
This was a most special place for us to revitalise body, mind, soul & spirit. We have been blessed with three very different retreats this year and certainly grateful to be called to this ancient land and mountain & to be taught in a most wise & caring way, the oldest teachings of wisdom & love. Thanks to all & especially to Sue for opening our hearts and mind: Jenny
