Robyn Gibson
Robyn Gibson has been practising and studying meditation for 30 years, predominantly in the Mahāsi lineage of Theravāda Buddhism. Her principal teachers have been Patrick Kearney and Carol Perry. Teaching since 2016, Robyn’s approach brings together the Buddha’s radical teachings of freedom through embodied presence, deep ecology and other nature-based practices, and creative expression. All this allows us to enquire into what it means to live a wise and ethical human life on this earth, and how to face the challenges of our current times with courage and integrity.

Deepening Practice 28-Day RetreatJanuary 29 - February 26, 2027
This retreat is open to people who have done at least three insight meditation retreats in the Mahasi tradition of nine days longer. This retreat is for experienced practitioners who want to deepen their practice and understanding. The first two weeks, taught with Robyn Gibson, focuses on building the serenity (samatha) necessary to support insight. The second two weeks, taught with Emma Pittaway, focuses on cultivating insight (vipassanā). These two qualities – serenity and insight – together bring the heart/mind to ripening.
