About Five Doors of Meditation and Presence
Step away from the busyness of daily life and into a transformative 4-night, 5-day retreat at Tushita Ashram, designed to soothe the nervous system, quiet the mind, and renew your sense of self. This retreat offers a gentle blend of different meditations, journaling, and reflective discourse, guided by a path of observing thoughts without engagement.
What to expect
A gentle, immersive and fluid structure relative to the participants.
A carefully balanced schedule of different meditation, journaling, reflective discourse, and periods of silence designed to soothe the nervous system and cultivate spacious awareness.
Arohananda leads the core of the retreat, with other practitioners joining at scheduled times to support guidance, questions and personal attention.
Description of Retreat Content
Three different meditation releases with a death meditation as the culmination.
Through the days there will be a mindfulness or IAM meditation, watching the breath as the anchor for attention. Watch the thoughts and feelings and keep going back to the natural breath.
Visual Body scan, systematic rotation attending to the parts of the body - see what you can feel and what is tight in the body.
Guided visualisation, soothing an image to calm the nervous system.
Annotation meditation (note-taking while meditating) - briefly jot down what is coming up without analysing.
Crazy Wisdom meditation.
Journaling for self-inquiry.
Thoughtful journaling prompts after each practice session to capture insights, notice patterns, and track shifts in perception over the retreat.
