Insight Meditation
Non-Residential Retreat
with Lynne Bousfield at Oasis
17 to 21 September 2009
Vipassana (Insight) meditation is the development of understanding or “insight” through the cultivation of mindfulness. The understanding we develop equips us to help ourselves with our lives, to find happiness by knowing where to look. Mindfulness transforms confusion and painful emotions into mental stillness, composure and clarity.
Schedule: (Please be present for all sessions)
17 September 2009 (Thursday) 7pm to 9pm
18 September 2009 (Friday) 7pm to 9pm
19 September 2009 (Saturday) 9am to 4pm
20 September 2009 (Sunday) 7am to 4pm
21 September 2009 (Monday) 7am to 12pm
There is no set fee to cover Oasis’s or Lynne’s costs – the weekend is offered on Dana.
Traditionally the teachings of the Buddha have been supported by the practice of dana. Dana is the development of generosity: Dana to a teacher is a subtle and sophisticated approach to the teacher/student exchange. An appropriate dana cannot be prescribed but we do need to be sensitive to its intent in that the responsibility for meeting all costs and expenses associated with the teachings (for example, venue costs and the airfare and livelihood of the teacher) is borne collectively by the participating students.

About Lynne Bousfield
In 1975 Lynne began practising Insight meditation in BodhGaya, India and continued her study in Burma, when it became possible to undertake long-term practise there in 1980. She has returned to Burma regularly for intensive practice and to develop her understanding of meditation. She helped establish Vipassana Meditation in Australia and was co-founder of the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre (BMIMC). She teaches meditation retreats and courses regularly in Australia and Asia.Lynne began working as a clinical psychologist in Sydney in 1992 and has developed a unique and special combination of skills from her meditation and clinical training. Her meditation understanding has allowed her to teach clients to apply mindfulness to loosen the grip of distressing emotions and thereby transform daily suffering into a happier, engaged life. Lynne is regularly invited to speak and present on her clinical work at national and international psychology conferences.
