Ajahn Brahm Retreats: Anyone Here Been On One?

[Jhana4]

I've been getting a lot out of Ajahn Brahsm youtube channels and writings. I'm thinking of trying one of his retreats out. I live on the east coast of the US, so that would be quite a big and expensive trip.

Has anyone here gone on one of Ajahn Brahms retreats? Opinions, observations?

I haven't but I have heard from one who has and the Dhamma talks he gives during his retreats are very different to his well-known talks, in that they are much more detailed and specific.

No, I have never been on one, but I'm going to stay at his monastery for a week, later this month. :happy:

If you want to know what the retreat talks are like, here is a page where you can download many of his recorded retreat talks, at Jhana Grove near Perth.

If you do come to Australia specifically, stay a bit longer after the retreat and be a lay-guest at his monastery down the road. People coming from overseas can stay for one month, if they arrange it in advance.
