Retreat Dharma Talks

Young Adult Retreat

Join a kind community to practice mindfulness and compassion. Give yourself a break from overstimulation and come home to the simple experience of being alive. In mindfulness meditation, we practice resting, looking deeply, and knowing moment-by-moment what it’s like to be human. Some of us are hesitant to look because we’re concerned about what we’ll find, but our practice shows us that the more deeply we look into experience, the more reason we have to love.

As our attention stabilizes, we begin to sense the poignancy of our wish to be happy. Seeing this, we care about our struggles and cherish our joy in a new way. In turn, this love informs how we engage with the world.

Held primarily in silence, this retreat will offer instructions in mindfulness and lovingkindness practice and include Dharma talks and meetings with teachers to support you in your practice.

This path does not stop with acceptance. Acceptance leads us into our own creativity, Intuition, and heartfelt contribution to the world.
