Awareness is the natural capacity of the mind, it simply recognizes the present moment. During this retreat we will cultivate a wise and relaxed interest in awareness as it recognizes that experience is being known. It is awareness that illuminates the underlying nature of experience and the knowing mind itself. And, it is the continuity and stability of this present moment awareness that naturally leads onward to liberating insight and a more wise and compassionate engagement with all of life.

The retreat will take place in Noble Silence and include talks, discussions, guided meditations, and guided mindful movement practice. The retreat is suitable for beginning and experienced meditators.

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.)
