This 6-day retreat is based on the practices from the Satipatthana – The Four Foundations of Mindfulness. With embodiment as the basis, we will explore our relationship with feeling tone (vedana) and its impact on the heart-mind (citta). The invitation is to slow down and come home to present moment awareness, meeting what’s arising with kind attentiveness to our embodied experience. This allows us to relate to all the different aspects of our lives with compassionate wisdom.

This retreat will include chanting, meditation instructions, periods of silent sitting and walking meditation, Dhamma reflections, group meetings and Q&As with the teacher.

Optional qi gong practice will be offered as well.

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.)
