Event Details

A 6 night retreat weaving together silent and relational practice for skillful speech.
22- 28 August 2025 @ Sangsurya, Byron Bay

This retreat offers a rare chance to combine two powerful practices: silent insight (vipassanā) meditation and Insight Dialogue — a relational meditation involving mindful speaking and listening in pairs or small groups. Together, they support us in exploring the two wings of awakening: wisdom and compassion.

Wisdom helps us see clearly the causes of stress and suffering, while compassion and its sister qualities — kindness, joy, and equanimity — nourish the heart and open us to deeper freedom. Set in the peaceful natural surrounds of Sangsurya Retreat Centre in Byron Bay, this retreat offers a warm and supportive space for both quiet reflection and shared connection.
