Recollective Awareness
with
Jason Siff and
Anna MarkeyGlenbarr Retreat Centre – Strathalbyn – South Australia
This retreat offers ways to become more aware of meditative experience, to increase discernment and investigation, and to examine the various conceptual frameworks people bring to meditation practice. Participants may meditate in whatever way they are accustomed to, or they may try out a gentle permissive approach to meditation, or do a bit of both. The emphasis of this way of teaching meditation is not so much on what people decide to do in meditation but on what they experience in meditation. Writing and talking about one's meditation sittings is thus recommended for anyone attending this retreat. There will be daily group interviews where participants will talk about their sittings, as well as the option for private individual interviews. Through the course of the retreat the teachers will give talks on the meditative process, as well as discuss Buddhist philosophy and psychology in light of people's meditation experiences and interests. The retreat is open to beginners as well as experienced meditators who would like to look more deeply into the meditative process itself and bring more ease and acceptance into their sittings.
