Weekend Retreat

Event Description

This in-person weekend retreat has a simple program that provides you the opportunity to practice in mindful silence. This allows you to more easily settle your mind and maintain awareness of your every activity.

The weekend schedule will consist of 30-45 minute periods of sittings (5 – 7 sittings per day) interspersed with guided gentle yoga and walking meditations. The retreat also offers a review of basic meditation methods (such as awareness of the breath), and brief Dharma talks.

Requirements to Attend

• Have attended a formal meditation class or attended a 1-day retreat
• Have experience with meditation, are able to lead yourself in a 30-minute silent meditation without instruction, and ideally have a routine meditation practice
