Morning of meditation practice - open to all

The first half of the day will be an opportunity to deepen our meditation practice together. 
Jill will offer a range of guided and silent sitting and walking meditation from 9:30-12:30, followed by informal social connection over lunch provided by Auckland Insight
All welcome!

Afternoon of practice - for Auckland Insight hosts and facilitators

In the afternoon we will continue practicing from 1:30-4:30, with silent and relational meditation practice, short dharma talks and small group discussion, exploring the rewards and challenges of being a host or facilitator.
The afternoon session is open to anyone who is currently a host or facilitator OR is considering becoming one this year.

Cost: $20 plus dāna* for the teacher

In keeping with Buddhist tradition, the teachings are offered on a dāna basis which means the teacher is not paid to offer this workshop. Instead, they rely on the generosity of the participants to help them continue to share their teachings with others, and there will be an opportunity at the end of the workshop to offer donations to support their ongoing teaching.
