This retreat will focus on concentration and awareness and how it relates to the practice of insight meditation and mindfulness.

 

When we embrace and allow all areas of our experience with awareness, painful patterns in body and mind begin to dissolve. Gently, we learn how to accept and let go of judgment and reactivity. As we practice the art of meditation, and as we non-judgmentally view and understand the hindrances that stand in the way of resting in the still presence and joy, allowing insight and clarity to shine through.

 

A silent retreat which includes sitting and walking meditation practices, personal one on one interviews, opportunities for questions, and dharma talks.
