Open to Everyone
Program to be held on the land only
Description:
This day of practice in the Insight Meditation tradition is an invitation to reawaken our capacity for mindfulness and friendliness. Cultivating a relaxed, kind, and curious attention to our present moment experience, we can recover our natural peace, clarity, wisdom, and compassion. Direct experience of the present moment enables us to connect with ourselves more intimately, understand the causes of both suffering and happiness, and discover our natural freedom and ease.
Instructions for both sitting and walking meditation will be offered, along with time for questions. This day is designed both for those who haven’t yet attended a residential retreat and would like to experience a “mini retreat,” as well as for those with more retreat experience who just want to reconnect with their practice.
