Long Weekend retreat led by Lesley Lebkowicz

Join a restorative long weekend retreat with Lesley Lebkowicz, an experienced teacher of Insight Meditation in the Mahasi lineage. Since 1983, Lesley has studied with both Western teachers and Burmese meditation masters across Burma, Nepal, the United States, and Australia, deepening a practice shaped by years of dedicated training and guidance from respected teachers including Michele McDonald, Sayadaw U Pandita, John Hale, and Sayadaw U Vivekananda.

Her teaching emphasizes a gentle, compassionate relationship with the mind, while also encouraging personal autonomy and responsibility as essential parts of inner development. As the leader of the Canberra Insight Meditation Group, Lesley brings clarity, warmth, and depth to her teaching style.

This retreat offers a supportive space for quiet reflection, mindfulness, and steady practice. It is suitable for beginners as well as those with more experience in meditation, making it an accessible opportunity to pause, reset, and explore the path of insight in a calm and welcoming setting.
