Sunnataram Forest Monastery : Retreat 6 - 8 Dec 2024

Retreat 6 - 8 Dec 2024

 

 

 Dear Everyone,

Thank you for joining the Joyfully Moving Out from Dukkha retreat, the last weekend retreat of the year, and one of the smallest. A great opportunity to practice together and refine our breathing technique and mindfulness and awareness.

Venerable Phra Mana, the volunteers and I hope you have had a joyful experience in our treasured monastery.

 We thank you for your appreciation and respect of our treasured monastery, and I am always especially grateful to the gardeners, and cleaners.

We love to hear your feedback, so please send an email and also let me know if you have more questions or would like a copy of the monastery Chanting Book.

Please see a few photos attached, and more will be on our website soon.

Wishing you all the best for the new year.

With Metta,

Kim

Hi Kim,

 

Thank you very much for your time and efforts in organising the retreat.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos on the website.

 

I would appreciate a copy of the monastery Chanting Book. If you could please send that through that would be great.

 

Thank you,

Varisara

Dear Kim,

Thank you for your email. I really enjoyed the experience and certainly came home feeling calmer and more relaxed.

 

I very much enjoyed working together in gardening, and I found the Tai Chi particularly helpful in calming my mind to achieve a state of vipassana.

 

I would also be very grateful to receive a copy of the Chanting Book if available and I would like to ask, is it possible to get a copy/list of the Tai Chi exercises that we performed whilst at the retreat?

It was a pleasure to hear Phra Mana’s wisdom and sense of humour, and I have plenty of fuel to feed into my practice at home!

 

Thank you for all your support during the meditation retreat.

With Metta,
Hannah

Dear Kim and Venerable Phra Mana,

Thank you so much for hosting such a joyful and inspiring retreat. I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend time learning with you both and connecting with myself at the beautiful monastery. Thank you to the amazing volunteers for caring for us these past few days. 

I would love the opportunity to visit you all again one day. In the meantime, I will continue working with the tools and mindsets you have given me access to. 

 

Wishing you a peaceful end of year. 

 

All the very best, 

 

Amelia

Dear Kim,

I would just like to say thank you for the wonderful weekend retreat. It is the first meditation retreat I have ever been on and I came away feeling much more calm  and serene. I feel like I learned so much and have so much more to learn and assimilate. I am hoping to attend another retreat, if I can get the time off work. I was wondering if the Easter retreat is open to all or only those who have attended many retreats?

Also I would be interested in having a copy of the Chanting book.

 

Kind regards,

Anne-Marie
