Two-week Retreat with Ariya Baumann

Ariya B. Baumann (formerly Ven. Ariya Nani) was a Buddhist nun for 21 years, ordained in Burma by Sayadaw U Janaka. For many years she had been guiding foreign meditators at the Chanmyay Myaing Meditation Center. She now lives in Switzerland and teaches mettā and vipassanā retreats worldwide. For further detail see Ariya’s website

This retreat is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced meditators.

This was originally offered as a residential retreat, but due to Covid complications we have converted it to online.  Ariya will be teaching from Switzerland via Zoom.

This online retreat has the format of a ‘city retreat’ or ‘part time retreat’, which is a great opportunity to integrate your meditation practice into your day-to-day life.  This means that you can engage in everyday activities, but you are asked to follow these requirements:

*             To be present at the daily online sessions (zoom) from 5 – 9 pm

*             This online session includes: instructions for vipassana meditation, sitting meditations, walking meditation, Q & A, Dhamma talk & Metta Chants

Apart from these basic requirements, you may include more formal practice during the day.
