Mindfulness: A Force for Radical Change With Corey Jackson

"If we examine ourselves every day with mindfulness…a possibility for change and self-improvement can open within us." - HH Dalai Lama

Cultivating mindfulness sets the stage for improving our lives. It is the basic ingredient of all other practices and creates the stability needed to make a radical transformation. There are many different techniques suitable for all types of people and this retreat will introduce a wide range of approaches allowing people to choose the ones they find most effective.

Drawing heavily on his connection with Alan Wallace, Corey will combine clear discussion with both silent and guided meditation. Learn to relax in the face of stress, understand its causes and develop habits that lead to happiness. Take a weekend to unplug, unwind and learn powerful tools for transforming our lives.

Accommodation and meals available separately. Corey recommends guests stay on site so they can participate in morning and evening meditation sessions.

Corey Jackson is currently working on a PhD in mindfulness and emotions at the University of the Sunshine Coast. He has a degree in Psychology and Sanskrit, works as a Tibetan-English translator. He is passionate about bringing the benefits of ancient wisdom to the modern world.
