Tasting the Dhamma: Deepening our Practice in South Asian Community

Description:
The opportunity to retreat from our busy lives, to slow down, unplug, and allow the mind to settle and gather can be profoundly beneficial in allowing us to look more deeply within ourselves. Join us for a day of silent meditation practice in community with other self-identified folks of South Asian descent.* We will devote this day to the practice of loving awareness in noble silence, and offer guidance rooted in the Buddhadhamma—including instructions for sitting/stationary meditation, and walking/movement meditation. We will cycle between the two forms of meditation for the bulk of the day. Some opportunity for relational mindfulness practice in groups will take place at the beginning and end of the day.

*One way to define “South Asian” is as people who trace their ethnicities to one of the following places: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar/Burma, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tibet.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
