Return to Stillness
Weekly Online Meditation & Mindfulness
A weekly guided practice exploring meditation, mindfulness and witness consciousness.
STARTS WEDNESDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER 7-8:30PM
A dedicated weekly space to step away from the noise of everyday life, quieten the mind and reconnect with the stillness within.
Through guided meditation and witness consciousness, you'll begin to observe thoughts and emotions without becoming caught within them — cultivating greater awareness, clarity and presence in everyday life.
Why You May Be Here
Perhaps your mind rarely seems to stop.
You may find yourself replaying conversations, anticipating what might happen next, worrying about things that haven't happened or becoming caught in familiar patterns of thought and emotion.
Through meditation, mindfulness and the practice of witness consciousness, we begin to step back from this constant movement of the mind. Rather than automatically following every thought or reaction, we learn to observe what is arising with greater awareness.
Over time, this practice can create more space between what we experience and how we respond, allowing us to meet everyday life with greater presence, stillness and ease.
What to Expect
Each gathering begins with time to arrive and settle before moving into a guided meditation. We begin by gently slowing the breath, allowing the nervous system to settle before gradually turning our attention inward.
The meditation is only one part of the practice. Through mindfulness and witness consciousness, we explore how the awareness cultivated in meditation can begin to move with us into everyday life — into our thoughts, emotions, reactions, relationships and the moments when we find ourselves caught in familiar patterns.
There is time afterwards for questions, reflection and conversation, creating space to explore what arose during the practice and how this awareness can be carried into your everyday life.
No previous meditation experience is needed.

Continue Your Practice
Following your first session, you'll receive free unlimited access to the Rise Temple Members Practice Space, with guided meditations, short breathwork journeys and recorded reflections to support and deepen your practice between weekly gatherings and whenever you feel the need to return to it.
Create Your Own Rise Temple
Your space doesn't need to be elaborate. It might be a dedicated room, a quiet corner of your home, or simply somewhere you create when it's time to practise.
A comfortable meditation cushion, soft blanket and soy candle are all you really need. If you can, add a plant or something from nature, and you may choose to burn Palo Santo before or after your practice. For a deeper, more immersive experience, headphones (overhead ones are perfect) are highly recommended.
Over time, this becomes your own sacred place to pause, soften and return to stillness.

How the Evening Flows
Each weekly gathering begins at 7:00pm AEST with a short introduction and reflection, exploring mindfulness, witness consciousness and how the evening's practice can be carried into everyday life.
From around 7:20pm, we move into approximately 40–45 minutes of guided meditation. We begin by gently and consciously slowing the breath, helping the nervous system settle before gradually moving into stillness, observation and witness consciousness.
After the meditation, there is space for questions, reflection and conversation, allowing us to explore what arose during the practice and how this awareness can be carried into everyday life. The session will close by approximately 8:30pm.
The intention is not to spend an hour trying to meditate perfectly. It is to develop a practice that gradually becomes part of how you meet and experience your everyday life.
Your Practice Continues Beyond the Session
As with any practice, continuity is what allows what we experience in meditation to gradually become embodied in the way we live. After your first session, you will receive free unlimited access to the Rise Temple MEMBERS PRACTICE SPACE, giving you the opportunity to continue your practice between gatherings and whenever you feel the need to return to it.
Inside you will find guided meditations, short breathwork journeys and recorded reflections designed to deepen your understanding of witness consciousness, support nervous system regulation and help integrate the practice into everyday life.
A reduced rate is available for pensioners. Use code STILLNESS11 at checkout.
Explore Rise Temple
Meditation is not about becoming someone new.
It is about recognising what has always been here.
If you feel called to explore this understanding more deeply, the Breath & Belief experiences offer space to move further into breathwork, meditation, limiting beliefs and witness consciousness — privately, as a couple, or through a longer five-week immersion.
Continue your journey in the way that feels right for you.

“It is hard to put into words how amazing you feel after doing a session with Amanda, I am still buzzing with all the positive energy 4 days later!
I had fallen out of practice with my meditation and breathwork, and her guidance was just what I needed to help get me back on track.
I will definitely be coming back - thanks Amanda! x”
