We are a meditation retreat on Hornby Island.
At our center we practice and teach Vipassana Kammatthana or Insight Meditation as instructed by our Teacher the late Venerable Ajahn Tong Sirimangalo, a well respected and loved Buddhist
meditation master from Northern Thailand.
This practice consists of the constant application of awareness in the present moment based
on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipatthana IV), namely, mindfulness of body in all it’s
positions, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind and mindfulness of mind objects.
Progression in the practice arises from the consistent and steady noting af all mental and
physical phenomena as they arise in the present moment.This practice is rigorous but highly beneficial for both mental and physical health.
Our meditation retreat Hornby Island is a great opportunity.
To be able to share Vipassana meditation practice with others is a true gift and honour. On our rural forested property on Hornby Island (British Columbia, Canada), we offer a place for people to come and find out the benefits of Vipassana practice for themselves. For the last few years in the month of August, we have taught a basic course for new meditators and a 10 day retreat for experienced meditators, and, since the completion of our first “Kuti”, we can also provide a suitable space for meditation year round. Amenities are simple: camping style for the August retreat with outdoor hot showers, outhouses and tents, and wood heat for the kuti with water….and yes, there is electricity! Meals are vegetarian.
We have been involved personally with this practice since the 1990 and have been teaching Vipassana since 2000 . We would like to express our gratitude to all those who have taught us and supported us on this path. In keeping with the tradition of generosity, we are happy to have created a suitable environment for people to come and discover Vipassana meditation, based on the four foundations of mindfulness, and, to further develop their practice in order understand the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and in so doing, bring ease, harmony and peace for themselves and others in their lives.
