| Working with the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, we will explore how we create entanglements and therefore can free ourselves from these recurring patterns. Turning towards these tangles with kindness and understanding allows the metabolizing and releasing of old habits. As we practice in this way, based on the Buddha’s wisdom, we develop increased clarity and confidence in meeting the challenges of daily life, thereby finding greater spaciousness and well-being.
This retreat is open to all genders.
The retreat is offered in keeping with the 2,600-year-old Buddhist monastic tradition. Providing the experience of “five days in the monastic life,” this retreat has some qualities not usually found on other retreats such as daily periods of devotional chanting and an adherence to the Eight Precepts (which includes not taking solid food between midday and the following dawn). This retreat will also include group sitting and walking meditation, individual practice, practice meetings with teachers, and Dharma talks. |
