Ground Urban Day Retreat
Sunday 6th December 2026
Ground - Urban Day Retreat
When: 9:30am - 5pm Sunday 6th December 2026
Where: The Augustine Hall, Hawthorn, Vic (map)
Cost: $80 base cost + dana/donation for Jess’ teaching
Who for: Everybody welcome, whether your are taking part in the Ground online course or not.
Real stability doesn't come from control. You can try to pin down, predict and manage everything externally. Tighten up, dig your heels into familiar ways of being.
But this never really worked, and it certainly won't now.
We need a deeper ground. One that gives flexibility. Not rigidity.
A place to come from that is not a mind running on fear, or old wounds that bend us out of shape.
A ground within that is there even when things don't go your way. When you're not 'performing'. When the outside world is on fire.
This is what the Buddha offered a pathway towards. This is the ground we are cultivating here, together.
Join Jess for this one-day retreat, which follows on from her 6-week online course, Ground, and is open to everybody.
All welcome to come back to ground, before the holiday season begins!
The day will include:
Sitting, walking and lying meditation practice
A dharma talk
Some small group discussions
Q&A
