Spirituality • Buddhism We often move through life without pausing to reflect on how much the mind shapes our experience. Thoughts\, emotions\, and perceptions arise continuously — yet we rarely stop to understand their nature or how they influence the way we live. The mind is not fixed. It is a dynamic process\, constantly changing based on conditions. Yet\, we often feel stuck in patterns of stress\, distraction\, and limitation\, unaware that change is not only possible — it is natural. From a single thought to the direction of our lives\, everything unfolds through causes and conditions. When we begin to understand this process\, the mind can gradually let go of what no longer serves and move towards greater clarity and balance. Join us for this transformative day retreat where Buddhism and science meet. Step into an exploration of the mind — its patterns\, its illusions\, and its potential for freedom. Learn to purify\, renew\, and truly detox your mind. SpeakersThe retreat will be fully guided by Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero and Ven. Bakkula Thero from Jethavanarama Monastery. The venerables have been conducting many teaching activities such as residential and day retreats\, seminars\, workshops etc. across Australia and around the world (New Zealand\, Singapore\, UK\, Italy\, South Korea\, Dubai\, Israel). Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero:Ven. Dr. Mahinda Thero\, a former research scientist at the Australian National University with a PhD from ANU\, is now dedicated to helping many people around the world find inner peace and overcome problems such as stress\, anxiety\, and addiction. Ven. Bakkula Thero:Ven. Bakkula Thero was a former computer engineer and a semi-professional cricketer in the UK\, now a monk\, focusing on finding serenity and inner peace and helping others.
