Paradise Valley Retreat = Paul’s Home, take Paradise Valley Road from the top ends and junctions of Clayton Rd and Pukehangi Roads. Travel along Paradise Valley Rd past the stock car track and on a bit taking the fist road on your left (Te Miri Rd) and follow this to the end (there is a name change to Te Manu Rd at a small road with a locked gate here via right onto Te Manu). At the end of the tar seal, go straight ahead and do not turn off to the left or right and you will see signs to the start of a 400 m drive way which is passable by 2 wheel drive but some folks get emotional about it and prefer to park at the top gateway and walk down – you will need a torch to get back to your car after class if you park at the top of the bush driveway.

Silent Retreat at Tauhara Centre in Taupo
December 15 to 18

You are invited to join a special opportunity over a weekend to learn from the Yoga and Meditation tradition.

Your retreat guide is Paul Barton who is a qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher with 30 years of practice and a passion for understanding mind states, ways of perceiving and evolving consciousness and Self.

Yoga can be defined as having three phases: practice, enquiry and attitude. True enquiry into what is mind and what controls mind and what is living leads to effortless returns to practice and the attention to developing attitudes which lead increasingly to states that see as God sees – integral vision based on love, compassion and presence. Obviously we do not jump AHEAD and leave the body behind. Staying with the base while going to the subtle. Or grounded in earth reach the heavens.

Asana is primarily a way to generate, refine and move energy and information around the system to aid meditation and life training.

This retreat will include yoga, pranayama (breathing work), and meditation (in sitting, walking and in yoga poses). The retreat will be silent except for teaching times and organisation needs. There will be a profound shift in your experience of life and the inner world. This is a ideal setting to return to our deeper self and integrated functioning. Learning to take more control of our mental states, (mind and consciousness), and health and well-being is very invigorating and empowering; it does not have to take a lot of time for busy folks but it requires we learn the experience of it and create an attentive and disciplined approach. Establishing a regular practice moves us towards greater wellness and clearer perception.

Places for 23 students exist for this retreat and preference will be given first to those who register and pay in full. Please register with Paul providing contact details and payment.

Location: 60 Acacia Heights Drive, Taupo. www.tauharacentre.org.nz
Commences: 6 p.m. Thursday, finishes 4 p.m. Sunday
