RETREAT DESCRIPTION
On this 5-day retreat, based on practices from the First Foundation of Mindfulness, we will explore the body, our primary resource to establish presence. The invitation is to bring embodied and loving attention to the present moment. This allows us to relate to all the different aspects of our lives with more clarity and understanding.
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.)
