"Stillness in Action is an extraordinary phenomena.
It changes lives. It changes worlds. If you are
seeking a new way of seeing, of being, of awakening, then retreat with
Bobbi, Ken and Simon. After 7
days, I feel truly blessed. I can appreciate all aspects of life with
new clarity, deeper compassion, greater
insight and directed intention." David, NSW Magistrate.
"Stillness in Action provides the sacred process for getting off
the treadmill of a hectic, crazy lifestyle, in
order to come to deep stillness, energized again to engage more meaningfully
in the world. Thank you
all!" Annette Arnold, Josephite sister
“Stillness in Action is exactly where the Social Change movement
needs to go. The balance of personal
enquiry, nurturing and remembering our interconnection with everything
works for me.” David Naylor,
community activist.
“The five days gave me the skills to stop and reflect on the profound
changes occurring in the world and
within myself. This workshop sets the stage for a new roadmap to
personal and group sustainability and
sanity. Highly recommended!” Gilbert Rochecouste, Director, Village
Well.
“A delightful introduction to the community of ordinary people finding
a way to blend healing of pain
from the world of daily living with warm community.” Ian Niven.
“A gentle and supportive way to learn how to discover what really
matters.” Christine Dann, NZ
Greens.
"Spacious, restorative, nourishing and fun. I would not hesitate
to recommend to others. I wished that
this retreat had been my initial introduction to both meditation and Buddhist
philosophy of life. You
made both very accessible to us". Joy London, consultant.
"I have been to many workshops, but never to one which flowed
so simply, lovingly and beautifully as
this. Deeply moving, calming and inspiring. Our leaders guided us so gently
to connect with ourselves,each other and our planet, in a way which was
real, meaningful and lasting. A combination of fun and frivolity, compassion
and tears, sadness and hope, love and laughter. Truly a wonderful week.
Thank you." Robyn Webster, Naturopath.
“The silence, in a group, allowed me access to a form of community
not available anywhere else in my
life. The Deep Change exercises were also extremely useful in helping
me connect with others at a heart
level.” Gayle Cue, manager.
“I’ve regained force! I was reminded of my strengths, of
so many things that interest me, and was able
to meet likeminded people.” Regula Ranch, welfare worker
“Dear Bobbi, Simon & Ken,
I watch you all tread so carefully and spread positivity and ecological
wisdom with many waves of
compassion. You all share a balance which reflects so much and encourages
wonderful ways of thinking
/ living – which in turn creates more sustainable and thoughtful
actions. Thankyou.” Jackie Boelle,
Social Ecology student.
“I have gained incredible comfort and strength, feeling encouraged
to follow my passion and find a place
/ forum for my passion that is sustainable and of benefit to the process
of serving life and myself. Very
inspiring!” Michelle Behan, community worker
"The combination of deep ecology work with silent meditation is
very powerful. This week has given me
new strength and courage to serve the Earth, and rekindled my sense of
hope." Emma Pittaway, refugee
activist.
"I wholeheartedly recommend this work for anyone who wishes
to work towards healing our world, but
is feeling disempowered. Working with challenging issues in a supportive
environment with like-minded
people left me feeling affirmed in my work and encouraged to continue."
Richard Bates, Green
Councillor.
"Amazing, beautiful people. I feel totally uplifted and blessed to
be here. I am motivated to do more, and
be pro-active about social change and earth-care, in a sustainable and
mindful manner. The stories and
experiences shared, and the thoughtfulness expressed by all members of
the group, and teachers, blows
me away. And gives me great joy and belief (faith) in myself and my
own ability to make change, socially and personally. The times are
a-changing. I am honestly grateful to be part of the change. I enjoyed
pushing boundaries, meeting diverse people. Thanks for your good work."
Jo Cunningham, marine
biologist.

development, personal connection,
intellectual content, entertaining, great fun, good food and most valuable
of all, greatly energising and

has deeply changed me." Kathryn Parle.

an awareness of my true nature, and a
new found sense of inner peace." Cameron Cross, Business Consultant.
