Vipassana Durga

Vipassana meditation is an ancient practise for developing mindfulness, insight and compassion toward one-self and others.
Durga, the Goddess, is characterised by the qualities of motherly protection, strength and courage.
Vipassana Durga, as the practise I shall be facilitating, is a dynamic guided meditation that requires such qualities, so as to be safely held in a supported group environment where you may access inner strength to free yourself of disturbing psychological, emotional, conscious, unconsious and sunbconscious influences.

That may sound like a lot . . because it is. The outcomes experienced through this practice are very often life changing in the most extraordinarily positive ways. I say that with conviction as one who first experienced this practice almost forty years ago and who has been facilitating one-on-one sessions and groups, pretty-well ever since.
Related methods have been utilised by indigenous cultures for thousands of years, often referred to as Trance Therapy, Re-Birthing, Holotropic Breathing, and more recently simply as Breath-Work.

In fact this practise can be life saving.

This event has been timed to coincide with the energy of the Dark Moon and the New Moon transition, offering more direct access to the the potential for a deeper and more wholistic experience. The Dark Moon period can at times feel exactly that, dark; sometimes difficult and dense with feelings, thoughts and emotions, which can have the effect of haunting one's mind. Of course this is not always the case, as deep rooted disturbence may be something we wake to each and every day.  Our relationship with such cycles is personal, and to spite one not necessarily being aware of them, direct.

With an acute appreciation for the benefits of 'looking after one-self', (having run myself into poor health about twenty years ago), these sessionss are aimed at you for your sake and the sake of all, in the context of our collective wellbeing and happiness.

I have been working in the area of wholistic medicine since the 1980's
Running retreats, workshops, healing centres, meditation centres
and martial art schools in Australia, Ireland, England and Indonesia
throughout that time. For almost twenty of those years I was
engaged with a Vajrayana Buddhist Sangha, consecrated in that context
as a Lama and regularly visited Indonesia where many of my Guides,
Teachers and Spiritual Friends reside. Now I am based on the
Mornington Peninsula, Australia, focusing my energies toward
weekly Qishengong sessions, meditation,
and related community activities.
