😘Understand Your Mind: Change Your Patterns 😘

As Darci and I lean into refining this year’s yoga retreat we have begun to fuse the psychotherapeutic lens with yogic theories of mind and methods.

So, of course, I’ve been reflecting on my own patterns.

My pattern to be “very good” “top of the class” “excell” “most liked” in order to feel just good enough.

As I look across at how this pattern bleeds into so many areas of my life I can see the effect of it.

How it steals my joy.

It’s in the small moments between experience and reactions that we can intercept and disrupt an old pattern.

It’s here with skillful injection of self love and radical self care that we can restrain the thief of joy.

It’s here we find the doorway to freedom. Freedom to live and enjoy our lives.
Freedom to let go of the conflicting voices/yearnings/aversions.
Freedom to step into the present moment and act with compassion and wisdom.

If your interested in joining me on this journey reach out. Darci and I will be in Springbrook July 16th-19th for a powerful retreat.

🧘‍♂️Speechless 🧘‍♂️

Sometimes, when life gets overwhelming, I become speechless.

In the last few weeks I’ve started a new role full time which has been amazing. I’ve also been part of some scary financial conversations and decisions that have left me extremely anxious for a lot of the time.

Things seem to be calming down now and I feel like I can breathe again.

I’m also aware that I have some events coming up that I haven’t been able to get to promoting- with authenticity- and have been fighting the pull to throw something banal out into our collective streams for consumption.

When you lean in to the idea that what we present our mind with, what our mind consumes, becomes our reality - and you pair that with self-interested algorithms that drive echo chambers of “mind food”- gosh don’t we have a responsibility to drop meaning rather than banality into our collective streams of awareness?

Anyway, I’m surfacing and finding my words again.

Just in time to let everyone know-

- 10hr Meditation Training (online and in person on the GC) at the end of May.
- Philosophy of Yoga Retreat July 16th-19th Springbrook
- Silent Retreat - July 19th- 21st Springbrook.

🧘‍♂️Springbrook Retreats 2026 🧘‍♂️

Philosophy and Yoga Retreat July 16th- 19th
Silent Retreat July 19th- 21st

🍃🍃 Autumn. That time of year that we start to prepare to turn inwards. The heat of summer has fallen away and the cool breezes home have begun.

Darci and I are preparing to walk alongside you up the mountain of Springbrook. Whether you need time to connect with others, nature or simply yourself Darci and I are here to facilitate.

The application of yoga to life moves us beyond the mat.

We gather here with a growing community of curious minded individuals to go a little deeper into the teachings as we safely unpack and reconstruct ourselves in the peaceful sanctuary of the Theosophical Society.

Expect good food, deep reflection, space, time, nature, meditation and yoga.

Still spots left on both retreats although they usually sell out so get in touch if you’re curious.

Drop us a warm 🔥in the comments for more info.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations!

You have reached the final peak of our epic journey together!

Milestone 3: The Correct View of Reality

Today we consolidate the path and gaze back at our ascent to this final vista.

On the climb to the first milestone we cultivated radical self- love and self- care. We learnt to love ourselves so much that we created a strong motivation to do what was good for us and develop habits that geared us towards liberation from suffering. We learned the theory of karma and how to tend to the garden of our minds.

Ascending to the second summit we cultivated a strong desire to align with others. We are all in this together. Me became a we.

And the final climb moved us towards the steep ascent of realizing emptiness. We saw the dual nature of reality- on one hand ultimately empty of inherent existence, yet on the other- appearances arise and are experienced. Understanding the side of the coin that is empty gives us agency to become the architects of our lives.

Everything is possible!

🧘‍♂️ Day 20 of your 21 Day Meditation Challenge 🧘‍♂️

The Perfection of the Wisdom of Realizing Emptiness.

Emptiness is defined as the lack of inherent existence of the self, other and interactions.

What?

When we contemplate that ultimately reality is empty of inherent existence and then meditate on this realization we have a chance to meditate on emptiness itself. To really know it beyond the analytical logical and reasoning of it, to a profound resonance and then into the bones and gut where 2+3 will never equal 4 again.

🧘‍♂️Day 19 of your 21 Day Meditation Challenge 🧘‍♂️

The Perfection of Concentration or Flow

Today’s practice pivots towards the bench press mind- training of the Zen monks. The masters of sustaining single pointed attention on the reality of emptiness.

The path of the Lam Rim that we have been following on this meditation journey has geared us towards stabilizing the mind. This is through a series of contemplations that squares us up with the realities (both harsh and beautiful) of this precious human life. This squaring up helps us to let go of what muddies the mind and learn how to effectively manage the gardens of our minds.

We are then asked to deepen into the understanding that we are not in this alone. Our hearts are intentionally cultivated towards compassion and interdependence rather than our cultural conditioning of individualism. From here we are invited to glance at the roots of our suffering, the afflictive emotions of craving and aversion which lead the way to atma graha.. a basic misunderstanding of ourselves and discrete and permanent selves- something that we compulsively grasp for- and inevitably continue to spin the wheel of our own suffering.

The Perfection of Concentration is the mind training necessary for us to fix our attention on the nature of ultimate reality- the portal of realizing emptiness. It is an essential prerequisite to enlightenment.

So, let’s get training!

The Perfection of Perseverance or Joy

When you look back at your life do you sometimes wonder what it is about you that enabled you to somehow overcome the huge amount of adversity that you have encountered?

What gave you the perseverance and resilience to get you to here?

And when you look ahead- what will help arm you to face whatever challenges you are given with grace, kindness and joy intact?

This meditation explores both the obstacles and antidotes to our own perseverance and joy.

🧘‍♂️Day 17 of your 21 Day Meditation Challenge 🧘‍♂️

The Perfection of Patience

Today we deepen our understanding of patience and imbue it with the qualities of giving and virtue. The perfection of patience draws on our understanding of the psychology of the mind aka karma theory.

Whatever emotion that arises within us is a ripening of a seed that has already been sown. This is not a message of suppression. We cannot do anything to stop this ripening.

Instead we have an opportunity- through our ninja mind training- to stop the cycle of violence and avoid perpetuating more suffering. We can pause, witness what arises, create space for it. We can endure this moment and reframe it - this seed is ripening. This one has exhausted itself. We are purified. We are humble. We can lean into love as we experience the disturbing emotion.

Enjoy- we can ALL use a little bit of this at the moment! :)

The Perfection of Virtue

☀️Have you ever met anyone unmuddied by the white noise of conflicting intentions?
☀️Anyone who emanates a light that is unsullied by self-grasping, craving or aversion?

These people are rays of light in our community.

We can cultivate that.

When we apply the Perfection of Virtue to the Perfection of Giving- wow- how we deepen and magnify.
