Settling, Seeing, and Luminous Awareness (306R21) - On-Land

Registration open until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on November 2, 2021. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early.

Prerequisite: Completion of a mindfulness meditation class or retreat (online or in-person) and a regular mindfulness practice.

Description:
We will train in three interrelated modes of practice. First, we will settle and stabilize our minds and bodies, becoming more concentrated, through sitting and moving forms of meditation, including regular Qigong.

As we settle, we will become better able to closely examine our experience of our bodies, thoughts, and emotions, and the general patterns of experience, on the personal and universal levels. We will see more clearly when we are reactive, when we suffer, and when there is a thick sense of self. Plus, we will learn to be more with the impermanent flow of experience.

We will also tune in more, as we settle and see, to an increasingly unconfined and luminous awareness beyond reactivity, which is a source of freedom, wisdom, and compassion in retreat practice and in daily life.

Scholarship offerings: In returning to the land, we will also be returning to our pre-pandemic scholarship options and policies. All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($50/night). While we are not able to offer “no one turned away”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings.
