Bodhi khaya Retreats
The Wild Mind with Casparo Brown
9-11 October 2020
We are facing a serious crises of belonging and to reconnect we might be wise to take a step back and explore what it means to be indigenous to land - to the earth, like our ancestors where before us. What does it mean to be a human being, caretaker of the earth, living in a symbiotic relationship with our natural environment ?
A Trilogy of Retreats
23 November - 13 December 2020
Governed both internally and externally by constriction and fear, are we able to find the space to reacquaint ourselves with our deeply encoded capacity for expansive curiosity and the freedom to wonder? Can you imagine a more authentic life for yourself and confidently step forward into the new year and a newer you?
We Are Open!
Spring 2020
We hope that you have had a peaceful and enlightening few months since we have been temporarily closed.
Bodhi Khaya is open! Host a retreat with us or book a personal getaway from 24 October 2020. It is the land that provides the sanctuary, the air the clarity, the water the healing.
Bodhi Khaya
from art to zen, a sanctuary for the spirit
Gassho - We greet you
“Being recognized by someone, recognizing someone without destroying the other, is a very, very important subject. The mudra of palms together, all kinds of dualism—man and woman, past and future, parent and child, teacher and student—they all come together in front of you as you bow. The hands fit together perfectly, so they must have been one before, otherwise such identical opposites could not exist. This is both an intimate and independent practice, this life. In such a lost state, touching is very important. Touch means one glance of Christ could save Mary Magdalene who had lost the hope of life. Life—connected life—gives meaning. A gassho you instinctively feel is not just a Buddhist activity, it is before and beyond, and it feels good.” - Kobun Roshi
Born as the earth school
Development Team Applications are now closed. Stay tuned to this important project. We will be posting details soon for the official opening of the Earth School in January 2021.
The Earth School is a 21st Century earth-based spiritual school which blends ancient indigenous spiritual wisdom, modern technology, mindfulness and ecological restoration.
The Earth School is a place for grounded higher learning. It is also a Rite of Passage school designed to facilitate transformation in you, and consequently your relationship to the environment, lifestyle, and community. We have a mission to become completely self sufficient through our own energy, food, and shelter creation. Students practice community living, sharing the responsibilities of gardening, cooking, housekeeping and running of the School’s Campus and Retreat Centre. Our model of education is deeply experiential, hands on, and cooperative. Students work independently and collaboratively and at their own pace, with a focus on developing grounding and spiritual resilience. The Earth School is a practical mystery school which values the heart and spirit in the creation of sacred sustainability.
