The Rondebosch Dharma Centre
This centre offers regular practice and meditation instruction on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. We do chanting, 2 rounds of sitting meditation (30 minutes each) with a short walking meditation in between followed by a teaching reading.
Practice starts at 7:00 pm and concludes at about 9:00 pm.
Every month we offer one non-residential Sunday retreat, starting at 8:30 am, concluding at 3:45 pm. Tea/coffee is provided, and it is suggested that each participant brings her/his own light lunch. There is also an opportunity to have interviews with Rodney Downey (Senior Dharma Teacher) or Heila Downey (Master Dharma Teacher), as well as a dharma talk, followed by a question/answer period and a discussion session.
