Carey is based at Caro Centre for Awakening Meditation & HomeStay, Victoria Australia. Service offering to remote areas upon request and by negotiation. Call or email to discuss your needs.
Caro Way is based in Cities of Port Phillip and Glen Eira, traditional lands of the Boon Wurrung, Bunurong and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation. Respect is offered to past, present and future elders of all spiritual traditions. May we find together a generous way to accommodate those in need of refuge. Let us be cool, strive individually and together to overcome inequality, violence, disengagement, tragedy and injustice wherever it may be. Let us honour, savor and enjoy results of mindful effort so more thrive peacefully with less effort in our place called home.

If this your first Zoom event, have either a smart phone, laptop or tablet preloaded with the Zoom Ap and set up your free user profile. Then come back to this link and click and it will automatically launch Zoom and you’ll be able to “wait in the virtual waiting room” until Host (me) lets you in.
Sounds a bit complicated. But you’re in good company and all the nerves settle down as it becomes the ’new normal’. Feel welcome to make contact if you would like to attend and I’ll send you the link to preferred time slot.

Sounds a bit complicated. But you’re in good company and all the nerves settle down as it becomes the ’new normal’.
To minimise our suffering, we begin by understanding that it is not the outer things that get happy or unhappy, it is our mind, a mind that is present always. A mind that is naturally joyful, wise and compassionate if only it wasn‘t so distracted being angry, sad or anxious. It is useful to think of this anger, sadness and anxiety as layers of dust obscuring our mind that have built up over time -- a result of our past actions and experiences. Let‘s polish some dust of our Minds! Sit with less Suffering. Each session includes Discussion, Practice and Q&A.

A general advice for Centre newbies: Beginners 3 days maximum, Intermediates minimum of 3 days + option to extend 2 days or Advanced 5 days + option to extend 2 days.
Caution: This is an inner city environment so Household and urban noise is a feature as part of the ‘all sounds are mantras‘ Karma Kargu style. Are you ready to experience the world spinning without your direction?
Please consider loved ones, work colleages, dependents or houseplants before-hand. Make arrangements for your absence and advise them why you‘re ‘trying something new‘, ‘going off-grid‘, or just ‘gone for a short break‘ and will not be in contact for duration.
