Details
Join a kind community to practice mindfulness and compassion. Offer yourself freedom from overstimulation and come home to the experience of being alive. In mindfulness meditation, we rest and look deeply, knowing moment-by-moment what it is like to be human. Some of us are hesitant to look because there is concern about what we’ll find. Our practice shows us that the more deeply we look, the more reason we have to love. We care about our struggles and cherish our joy in a new way. In turn, this love clarifies what we care about and informs how we engage with the world. This retreat will offer instructions in mindfulness and loving-kindness practice. Throughout the retreat, there are dharma talks and meetings with teachers to support you in your practice. The retreat is held almost entirely in silence.
