Description

A Rite of Passage into Woman, Mother, Divine and Nature.
 
Gain insight into the deeper personal questions you carry, and the unique gifts you embody.
 
The retreat is on Sun-Moon Island, a private island in the Dawangtan Reservoir Scenic Area, Nanning City, Guangxi Province, China. The island is purely for spiritual retreat, usually just once a year by a Rinpoche, and is care-taken by a small local family. It is called Sun-moon Island as it is two islands, one shaped as a moon, and the other the sun, connected by a swing bridge.
 
We’re very fortunate to be offered the island for this women’s journey. It is a place of stillness, ideal for deeper reflection and transformation. We will be the only people on the island, this retreat is an intimate group size with a maximum of 22 people.
 
DATES: October 17- 27th, 2016
This is an 11 day intensive. All participants must attend the full retreat.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Sun-Moon Island is a simple natural setting. According to the Tao and the Buddhist principles water is wisdom, and the retreat is surrounded by waterways, it is also a Yin environment, having a lot of moisture year round. We will be visiting the island at its ideal time of year, the temperature around 26 - 28 degrees.

 

We’re very fortunate to be offered the island for this women’s journey. It is a place of stillness, ideal for deeper reflection and transformation.  We will be the only people on the island, this retreat is an intimate group size with a maximum of 22 people. We will by supported by the local family who will look after us.

All rooms are shared, two or three people to a room. Rooms are simple cabins, with a balcony or view, and most have their own bathroom. The Chinese bathroom is a squat toilet, with a shower-head on the wall.

 

You should prepare yourself to enter the retreat as if you were headed to a quiet cabin in the forest to meditate, in Buddhist style the facilities are very simple, and it is really a nature-immersion. Our processes will be held both indoors and in nature. The invitation is to drop our usual comforts and be with nature and our inner journey without distraction.

 

We will have simple vegetarian food. Please notify us of any allergies in advance. We will generally have three meals a day. If you need further snacks please bring these with you. The island has its own vegetable garden, which we will tend at times. There are fruit trees growing plentifully all over the island, mango, starfruit, longyn, citrus, etc.

 

THREE DAYS OF SILENCE

 

There will be three days of silence. There is an option to sleep out on a one or two night nature solo. In which case, you will need to bring some additional equipment. If you are considering the nature solo, please tick this option on your registration form, so we can send you the additional preparation info.
