Bega Valley Insight Meditation

Bega Valley Insight Meditation (BVIM) formed in the mid 2000’s, primarily to invite experienced Insight teachers to lead retreats in the Bega Valley, on the far south coast of NSW. It began with bi-annual weekend retreats, and now offers three, five or seven day retreats per year, as well as five one or two day non residential retreats.

Buddhist Insight (Vipassana) meditation cultivates awareness in meditation and in all aspects of life. The practice of meditation gives us a way to be curious, to explore and gain insight into the rich variety of experiences that make up our inner lives, and our lives in the world.

We come to appreciate those aspects of life we usually view as ordinary or unacceptable. This fosters wisdom, and a little more friendliness and compassion for oneself and others.

A meditation retreat is an opportunity to step aside from the demands and busyness of daily life, and be supported to investigate your experience: a process which can be gentle and transformative.
