Description:
This daylong online retreat will explore mindfulness along with body and breath to develop concentration in three traditional modes: momentary concentration, access concentration, and absorptive concentration (jhāna). Through guided meditation, we will work to settle restless thinking, focus the mind, overcome distraction, and cultivate calm attention. Throughout this process, Shaila will share insights and techniques gleaned from her extensive experience with jhāna practice, and together we will explore the roles of concentration, samādhi, and jhāna on the liberating path. This program is appropriate for both new and experienced practitioners.
Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom for you to join us remotely.
