Coming to Rest: A Day Retreat with Robyn Gibson

Location: Fryerstown School Hall

Date: Saturday 12 September 2026

Teacher: Robyn Gibson

The Buddha teaches that deep rest and relaxation is within everyone’s reach moment-to-moment.  It’s all about how we meet what’s happening. How are you meeting life – with wisdom? Or are you fleeing from life – feeling defeated, resistant, and multiplying your anguish?  

When you practice resting into life just as you find it, you can act effectively, without clinging to things being a certain way. The possibility of being open-hearted and steady in the face of both ease and difficulty becomes available because you are cultivating a simple and straightforward presence.  

The retreat will explore the Buddha’s core teaching of living with ease and wellbeing regardless of the challenges. 

The retreat will include:

• Sitting, walking and lying-down meditation 
• Some meditation guidance
• Dharma talk
• Group discussions

The retreat is suitable for beginning and more experienced meditators.

Cost: $80
