SUMMARY:16G Building Inner Strength Retreat | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Feeling better starts with living better! \nAbout the Retreat\n\n\n\nThe 16 Guidelines for Life are a set of timeless and universal human values that have inspired individuals for over a millennia. They offer simple steps and practical tools to help you reflect\, relate more openly with others\, and to bring change to your heart and mind\, recognising that we are interdependent and interconnected to so many aspects of our world and what lies within it. \nThey offer us the opportunity to develop a warm heart\, a wise mind and a happy life. \nWhat to Expect:\nThe 16 guidelines revolve around four key themes: thinking wisely\, acting kindly\, building strong relationships\, and embracing change for deeper meaning. This approach promises not just greater joy but a better world. \nThey are underpinned by four philosophical themes: \n1. How We Think: The way we use our mind determines the way we live. \nWe will explore \n\nhumility\npatience\ncontentment\ndelight\n\n2. How We Act: Every skillful action makes for a better world. \nWe will explore \n\nkindness\nhonesty\ngenerosity\nright speech\n\n3. How We Relate: To take care of others is to take care of ourselves. \nWe will explore \n\nrespect\nforgiveness\ngratitude\nloyalty\n\n4. How We Find Meaning: If everything is changing many things are possible. \nWe will explore \n\naspiration\nprinciples\nservice\ncourage\n\nSchedule\nFirst weekend: Saturday 11 April 9:00 am to Sunday 12 April 4:00 pm \nSecond weekend: Saturday 6th June 9:00 am to Sunday 7th June  4:00 pm \nThis first workshop 11-12 April explores the first 8 guidelines. Through discussion\, connection and openheartedness we consider and reflect on what we think we know about each guideline and whether we can deepen that understanding even more to bring greater peace and harmony to our lives and  to our world. \nThe second workshop on 6-7 June continues to explore the final 8 guidelines and offers a way to move forward in our lives with purpose and resolve to bring more joy into our hearts and minds as well as to those around us. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools for meaningful change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace. It will be of particular interest to: Change-makers and anyone working in education\, healthcare\, or helping fields; Yoga\, mindfulness\, and embodiment teachers; Coaches\, mentors\, and those working in corporate or organisational well-being. \n\nBookings\nThe suggested donation for this two-day weekend course is $120 (meals and accommodation are not included). A donation of $120 covers the organizer’s  costs and helps sustain the Centre so they can continue offering teachings to the wider community.
