This retreat is an invitation to let go of the many distractions of the world and fully arrive into our body and breath, with presence and kindfulness. Allowing the turbulence of the mind to settle, we can access the natural wisdom and warm heartedness that are part of our true nature – rediscovering our higher potential.

There will be some guided and some self directed meditations, daily chanting, Dhamma talks and Q&A. Viola Green will be offering Qi Gong daily for those who wish to practice this ancient system of mindful movement. The retreat will be held in Noble Silence.

Partial attendance is not offered on this retreat. Additionally, please consider attending this retreat only if your current life circumstances allow you to engage in an important modern renunciation practice of staying offline and off phone/text during the entire course of the retreat (some exceptions related to pressing family situations may be granted.)
