We invite you to join us on retreat in 2019! Dear students and graduates, Our ACHS Meditation Teaching Retreat has become the most memorable, exciting, heart opening and joyful event in the ACHS calendar. The response from those who have attended has been overwhelming each and every year. My favourite part is finally being able to meet so many students in person and to be able to make a connection with them that I can t make any other way. It felt like a real privilege to sit face to face and to be able to share, learn, grow, connect and meditate together. Here s what some of our students had to say about attending the retreats: The deep connections formed at the retreat have fuelled my energies for my studies. - Susan Over the course of the weekend I released some unconscious stuff, cried, laughed, gained massive clarity over the path ahead, felt so much love and gained awesome connections that I know will continue into the future. - Lisa Such a learning experience- so many skills to take away learning about conducting sound meditations, to guiding children to shining our own light within. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant thank you all. - Bronwyn
More testimonials from our retreat students and graduates I feel that I have grown immeasurably. The content is in depth and so well structured. I have particularly been touched by the love, acceptance and nurturing I have received in this beautiful space. - Stacey Thank you so much to Lisa and the teachers for a beautiful weekend retreat. It was so special to meet the teachers and some of the other students face to face and share our experiences and stories. I am going home feeling refreshed and renewed - Sally I cannot recommend the retreat highly enough! This is my third retreat with ACHS and it keeps getting better. - Jacqui Couldn t recommend it highly enough for deepening and consolidating your own practice and knowledge; for meeting like minded souls; for meeting the wonderful supportive coaches and boosting your own self confidence. - Claudia The whole experience was heartfelt and authentic allowing a vulnerability that is not often available to you. - John The retreat offered the opportunity to meet like-minded people from all parts of Australia. To share moments, stories, strengths and weaknesses. To enjoy the group work and to connect with others. Such a memory to cherish forever. - Valary Attending the ACHS retreat is not only learning more skills in meditation but a true loving atmosphere where you are supported and held in trust, meet the most wonderful like-minded people and gain encouragement on your meditation teaching pathway. - - Miriam Joining the ACHS community has been an experience beyond words. - Katerina
What to expect in 2019 Come and join us in 2019 as we come together in Spring and Autumn for two distinctly different retreats and celebrate meditation, deep personal learning, achievements and new beginnings. There is so much to experience. 3-6 May 2019 Autumn Meditation Teaching Retreat This retreat prepares you for the restorative energy of the colder seasons. The focus will be on nourishment, relaxation, deepening connections (both inner and interpersonal), deepening personal meditation practice, exploring meditation techniques, translating personal experience into unique and authentic content for your teaching, understanding your unique positioning as a meditation teacher, owning the silence and much more. A safe, supported and loving space will be held for you to explore whatever arises in this nurturing space. 6-9 September 2019 Spring Meditation Teaching Retreat The Spring retreat is about renewal, goal setting and intention. At this retreat we are emerging to share, exchange and open up to our full potential as meditation teachers. It is a time to open to ideas and inspiration, to enter the flow of what we have to express and offer. As we open to our full potential it can also be time to address whatever is holding us back from embracing our best selves. A time to discover who we are and express that through our teaching. Inspiration, excitement and confidence will be part of what you gain from this retreat. Both retreats provide opportunities to Practice facilitation skills Spend time with coaches Get to know other students Experience live demonstrations of meditation techniques taught in the course Listen to expert guest speakers Engage in deep and connective personal development practices and meditations Spend time in a pristine natural environment Experience guided moving and sound meditations Develop more confidence in your teaching
