Seven-Day Silent Mindfulness Retreat in Bali (June 2026) with Carmen Teo and Patrick Kearney
Looking to deepen your mindfulness meditation practice and self-awareness in a conducive environment? Join us for a 7-night Silent Mindfulness Meditation Retreat led by highly experienced teachers in Bali, away from the hustle and bustle of fast-paced city life, in a community of practitioners. This retreat will use the thought of Wang Yang-Ming (1472–1529) as a way of entering into the Buddha’s understanding of practical ethics—how we should live and who we should become.
This silent retreat is open to individuals who would like to further develop their mindfulness meditation practice. Some experience with mindfulness meditation is expected.
In addition, this retreat also fulfils the silent retreat prerequisite for those already teaching or interested in teaching mindfulness-based programs (MBP) such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Mindful Self-Compassion.
