| During an uncertain election season, many of us yearn for grounding and inner balance. The Buddha taught a path of liberation 2,600 years ago that continues to bring resilience, insight, and peace to practitioners today. Our practice of retreat brings the teachings alive, as we cultivate mindfulness, lovingkindness, and investigation of the causes of suffering throughout all the activities of the day. The silence and simplicity of retreat support deepening in presence, as the heart learns to meet everything that arises with wakefulness and intimacy.
On this retreat we will weave stories and teachings from the Early Buddhist tradition into our practice, placing ourselves in the lineage of the elders who have preserved these extraordinary teachings for so many centuries. Progressive guided meditation will be given. This retreat is great for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners looking for a refresh on the foundations of Insight practice. |
