I first tried meditation about 8 years ago it was at a class in Great Western Rd. It taught me to quiet the mind somewhat and i got a cassette called silent watching(i think that was its name anyway)Anyway i soon aborted the meditating as at the time i thought that that was all there was too it as after a few weeks of the class it was all we were taught. It did serve me well at the time tho so i cant complain. It wasnt untill about 3 months ago i returned to the meditation with some indepth books and a new thirst for understanding that things began to click and i discovered the Jhanas and the real work ahead!

I looked at the retreat website and liked what i saw so thanks for that
