Mountain Stream Practice

In this retreat we will experience how through movement we can discover a greater stillness – and how in that stillness we come alive.

Based on traditional Tibetan healing practices, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind.

Mountain Stream Practice is;

• A very effective gateway to meditation (for beginners), and an opportunity to deepen our practice for experienced meditators.
• By calming the restless flow of thoughts and opening our senses we can fully appreciate the natural environment – time in nature at Dzogchen Beara is an inspiring way to start!
• Practice ways to integrate meditative awareness in our everyday life.“Kum Nye is new to me and I am enthralled at it’s application and benefits. To intersperse the sitting meditation and Kum Nye exercises is a real plus plus!” Marie
  “I’ve really taken to the Kum Nye and grateful to have been introduced to its gentle and powerful ways” Gabriella
  “Thanks for the great Kum Nye exercises… I was very taken by their simplicity and effectiveness.” Maria

Location

The retreat will be held in our newly opened Dzogchen Beara Temple. With expansive views across the bay, the temple is a modern example of a traditional Tibetan monastery, a form of architecture designed to be an inspiring symbol of the Buddha’s teachings for our times.

Catering

Delicious two course vegetarian lunches, with soup and bread in the evenings. Cooked with love at Dzogchen Beara, using homegrown and organic ingredients whenever possible. Tea and coffee.
