Yanai Postelnik is a Guiding Teacher at Gaia House Retreat Centre, Devon. He has practised and studied Insight Meditation in Asia and the West for many years. Since 1992 he has led retreats in Europe, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. He has also led courses combining meditation and silence with being in nature.
Please bring your own cushion or stool and mat, if desired, (there are plenty of chairs), and a packed lunch (tea and coffee will be provided). If coming by car, Park and Ride is a way to avoid difficult and expensive parking in Cambridge.
Day retreats offer a chance to practise meditation and mindfulness in a supportive environment. They include alternate periods of sitting and walking meditation, and the teacher provides guidance through meditation instruction, a Dharma (teaching) talk, and a question and answer session. Beginners are offered additional instruction and assistance. For experienced meditators the day is an opportunity to refresh and deepen practice. The retreats are normally held in silence.
