Finding an Inner Stillness – The art of mindful living
A Day of Mindfulness Meditation
Join meditation teacher, Grahame White for a one-day insight and mindfulness meditation practice day at the beautiful Govinda Valley Retreat Centre in Stanwell Tops, NSW.
Practicing Vipassana meditation is perhaps the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others. Vipassana is concerned primarily with the cultivation of awareness and understanding. Awareness so that we can see our minds more clearly and Understanding so that we can know what is useful and what is not for experiencing a deep harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world.
The secret of success in meditation practice is in continuity. Throughout the day there will be periods of sitting and walking meditation followed by a Q&A and discussion about strategies for the integration of mindfulness in daily life. The course is suitable for beginners and also those with past experience in insight and mindfulness meditation practices.
Date: Sunday October 18th 2026
Time: 9am-3:30pm AEST
Venue: Tops Conference Centre, Stanwell Tops
Cost: $50 facility fee and a delicious vegetarian lunch. Please note that payment is required prior to the event.
Bookings are essential so please register here.
This intimate small-group pilgrimage traces the life of Siddhartha Gautama. From his birthplace in Lumbini, through his Enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, to the site of his first teaching in Sarnath, and finally to Kushinagar, where he entered Mahaparinirvana.
More than a sightseeing tour, this is an opportunity to deepen your meditation practice while experiencing the sacred places where Buddhism was born. Each day combines visits to ancient temples, monasteries, archaeological sites and places of profound historical significance with periods of meditation, quiet reflection and spiritual practice.
Travelling alongside an experienced meditation teacher and expert local guides, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Buddha’s life, teachings and the rich cultural traditions that continue to flourish across India and Nepal.
Whether you are a long-time practitioner or simply inspired to explore the roots of Buddhism, this pilgrimage offers a rare opportunity to experience these sacred places with mindfulness, community and purpose.
Cost: $5465AUD per person twin share
