Wat Buddha Dhamma is offering the opportunity for meditation practice in the peaceful surrounds of beautiful bush land. Come and deepen your practice through days of meditation, chanting and service. The retreat will be guided by the Wat’s Abbot, Ajahn Khemavaro and managed by volunteers. Book early as there are limited spaces on this retreat. The Retreat schedule will consist of morning/evening chanting, mindful work, sitting/walking meditation, Dhamma talks and Q&A in the evening. Arrival and check-in between 4 pm - 6pm on the day the retreat begins. Retreatants are asked to observe the eight precepts (see below)and noble silence. This retreat is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators. Important Information for New Retreatants Accommodation at the Wat is simple and generally shared. Facilities are basic as the Wat is not on mains electricity. The buildings are well spread out and so a certain amount of walking along bush tracks is necessary. Retreatants are asked to come prepared for various weather conditions and a torch is a must. Also note that no meals are served after midday and we are unable to cater for specific dietary needs. In keeping with our tradition there is no charge for accommodation or food at the Wat. As a Theravadin monastery, we are fully supported by donations in the form of food, money, and volunteer labour. Retreatants are encouraged to consider how they might contribute to the needs of maintaining the monastery, while at the same time cultivating wholesome states of mind.
