Learn to Meditate Retreat

Learn to Meditate

Life expands or contracts in accordance with our state of mind – cultivate wisely.

 

This three-day meditation retreat will equip you with the lifelong skill of Vedic Meditation.

Vedic Meditation (VM) is a science-based technique that absolutely anyone can learn, and millions have. It has been proven to make you more content, less stressed, more productive and adaptable to the demands of life. You will walk-away with a self-sufficient meditation practice, through correct guidance, group accountability and knowledge sessions while being supported in Soma’s sanctuary to elevate and fall in love with your new life skill. Soma’s Meditate course is designed for individuals of all levels. Every person that has attended our retreats - led by Soma founder and master teacher Gary Gorrow - has left Soma with the skills and knowledge of meditation, finding inner peace wherever they are.

At Soma, we often talk about our “life toolbox”, which we describe as our arsenal to regulate our nervous systems and allow clarity to deal with life’s day-to-day. As well as learning VM and Rounding, Soma co-founder Peter Ostick will lead the team in knowledge sessions guiding the group in “finding comfort in uncomfortable situations” to further your tools to create space within yourself and your thoughts.

FROM THOSE WHO KNOW

“Before studying with Gary I could barely slow down and focus enough to write a single sentence. I think you’ll find this quote contains two, which is a testament to his excellent technique.”

Hamish Blake

“Soma was the perfect balance of learning, escaping and relaxing. I couldn’t think of a more beautiful space to learn Vedic Meditation and I consider myself so lucky to have been able to experience it and to learn from Gary, who is amazing at what he does.”

Lucy G.

“This meditation has been the gateway and balance of my soul. Gary is a amazing guide to balance and success.”

Stephen Dupont

I finished a Yoga Teacher training in 2008, but wasn’t able to meditate, because I wasn’t ticking the boxes required for meditation. I’ve tried different techniques for meditation, but it was an on/off love affair with my mind/thoughts. Gary’s talks and explanations about meditation and the human mind were incredible – the rules for VM are simple and approachable. I liked the practicability of the technique.

The retreat was awesome. I’ve felt home, sort of. It was a magical weekend and I would like to continue my journey and implement other courses at SOMA.
