Weekend Retreat

Event Description

This in-person weekend retreat has a simple schedule that allows you to settle your mind while at the same time allowing you to maintain a constant awareness of your every activity.

Each day will consist of (5 – 7) thirty minute periods of sittings interspersed with guided gentle yoga and walking meditations. The retreat also offers a review of basic meditation methods (such as awareness of the breath), introductory guidance in the method of Silent Illumination, and brief Dharma talks.

This retreat is designed for those who have experience with meditation (e.g. attended a formal class, done a 1-day retreat) and ideally have a routine meditation practice.
