Thank you for booking a place on the @EventName retreat at Flourish Sanctuary, Nimbin.

Please arrive between 3:00pm and 5:00 pm on Wednesday 18th June 2025 for check-in. The retreat will finish after lunch on Monday 23rd June at about 1.30pm.

Schedule: The retreat program consists of meditation instruction, evening Dharma talks, daily mindfulness work periods and open practice periods in which all postures of meditation are welcome (sitting, standing, lying and movement). Meditation practice in the natural surrounds of Flourish will be encouraged

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

Meetings with the teacher is an essential aspect of the retreat and there will be opportunities for individual interviews with Emma during the retreat.

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.

What to Bring:

Meditation cushions (firm) and a fairly thick mat to cushion your feet and legs.
Yoga mat.
Clothing for all weather plus meditation shawl or wrap
Slip-on shoes.

Torch with extra batteries: Flourish is in a forest setting and there is limited lighting and uneven paths, so a torch is handy for moving around the area at night.
Water bottle (please leave outside the meditation hall).
Rain/sun protection.
Mosquito repellent and sunscreen and low-scent personal toiletries.
All bedding and linen including towels, sheets, blankets and pillows are provided, unless in a campervan.
