THE 2025 ONE-YEAR PROGRAMME is now open for registration
ZEN AND THE ART OF MINDFUL LIVING -
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR TRANSFORMATION
Are you ready to join the Dharma Gaia one year programme in 2025
Are you ready to commit to go deep … to nourish your capacity
to stand strong and to be empowered to serve well
Do you want to be empowered to live from a place of integrity, to act in the world from a place of calm stability and clarity
Do you want to build your resilience, to be able to respond rather than react to your inner and outer challenges? Do you want programmes that support and challenge you to grow into your power? A place that offers opportunities to deepen your service to others, to work, to rest and play, reflect share and nurture your creativity. Do you want to be in community with teachers and peers that will support you and also keep you accountable to your highest aspirations? Can you commit yourself fully to nourishing joy and well-being on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Dharma Gaia is a very unique environment to build this strength of Being. It is a place that is grounded within the natural environment, that is held by a strong spiritual practice, that offers clear boundaries, safety, warmth and acceptance
The training year at Dharma Gaia is not only for the individual good; it strengthens our collective empowerment for the well-being of all and for our precious planet ….. A degree of self-awareness and a willingness for self-reflection are essential to enabling transformation. To undertake this training, you will need to be okay with not knowing , have humility, and have a genuine willingness to learn.
Is this for you?
Places on this programme are limited and generally offered to young people between 24 – 35 years old however the age criteria is flexible.
Each year, we develop a very close and caring community, focusing on mutual support while also respecting each other’s needs for space and privacy. We learn here to feel at ease with deep sharing, expression, and listening, which are key factors in our life together. In mindfulness, we appreciate authentic conversations and periods of being quietly together. This does not discount the times of joy and laughter that also ring out as clearly as all the other mindfulness bells we enjoy.
COST FOR THE FULL YEAR:
Accommodation and Food are $7500 (some partial scholarship may be available, please let us know your circumstances)
Dana for the teachings: All programmes, training and teachings will be offered based on Dana - which in Buddhist Practice simply means generosity. The teachings are given freely and you are invited to offer generosity in the form of financial contribution at the level you can afford and wish to offer. Dana donations sustain the teachers and enable them to continue to offer these trainings. All Dana offered is tax deductible through the Charitable Trust that runs Dharma Gaia
