Thank you for booking a place on the @EventName retreat at Sangsurya Retreat Centre, Byron Bay.

Please arrive between 3:00pm and 5:00 pm on Friday, 7th March 2025 and make your way to the dining room to check in. The retreat will finish after lunch on Thursday 13th March at about 1.30pm.

Schedule: The full days have an early optional exercise period e.g. yoga, walking or individual exercise. The retreat program consists of sitting, standing, walking & guided meditation, meditation instruction, and individual meetings with teachers, inquiry sessions, evening Dharma talks and daily mindfulness work periods.

The retreat is conducted in silence apart from meetings with teachers and essential communication.

Meetings with the teachers are an essential aspect of the retreat and there will be opportunities for individual interviews with teachers during the week.

Dana: Insight Meditation teachers give generously of their time and energy during retreats. They receive no payment for this and are supported by donations from those attending retreats. A Dana (donation) box will be placed inside the meditation hall for donations to support the teachers. There are no EFT or credit card facilities on site.

Meditation cushions (firm) and a fairly thick mat to cushion your feet and legs. There are yoga mats, blankets and bolsters for your use at Sangsurya
