Nayaka

Nayaka came to Dhanakosa in 1996 after learning to meditate with the Newcastle Buddhist Centre. Drawn by the mountains, he quickly felt at home here and became increasingly involved in the running of the centre. He became part of the management team in 1999, was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 2001 and became Centre Director in 2006. He has a background in earth and life sciences, a long standing interest in natural history and a love of the wilderness. He has two children, now young adults, and lives at Dhanakosa with Dharmavasini.

Retreat Type:
Regulars - Meditation

Modern life is complex, often demanding and can be highly technical too. But as human beings gifted with the magical mystery of awareness, we have all we need to align with and relax into awakening, just as the Buddha did.

On this retreat we will explore the possibility of easing into natural simplicity and effortless enjoyment of life's journey. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of Mahamudra we will invite in resources, release obstacles, and relax into the flow of life more fully without the stress of trying to control our experience.

The retreat will invite a revitalisation and a fresh approach to practice wherever you are on your journey and whatever meditation you practice. As a retreat community we will meditate together becoming a stronger force for good in the world. We will do this within the timeless flow of awakening in the company of all our fellow meditators past, present, near and far inspired by all enlightened beings, mythical, magical, and just like us.

This retreat is for people who already have a regular meditation practice and established connection with the Triratna Buddhist Community. Who are already familiar with the mindfulness of breathing and the metta bhavana, and the practice of puja.
