9-day Vipassana MeditationRetreat

Led by Patrick Kearney

Retreat starts in early November 2010
(dates to be confirmed)

Patrick has over 25 years experience in Buddhist meditation. Since 1984 he has trained in Vipassana (insight) meditation in the lineage of the late Mahasi Sayadaw of Burma.

His teachers have included Sayadaw U Pandita, Sayadaw U Lakhana, Sayadaw U Janaka and Christopher Titmuss.

For 3 years Patrick was the resident teacher at the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre. Now based in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, he conducts retreats, seminars and classes around Australia. He teaches the techniques of meditation along with the theory that underlies it. Understanding both, a student can become independent and self-directed.
