Intention is present in every experience, response or action. Cultivating Right Intention in the context of contemporary society can often seem self-indulgent. The constant demands of being a householder can also over shadow intention and make it harder to recognize the expectations, assumptions, desires, beliefs, and/or energy (in other words- the intentions) behind our actions. Intention is part of the unconditional and thus, a necessary aspect of awakening.

The retreat will explore the essential nature of intention and what is meant by Right Intention. This will be a traditional Vipassana retreat meaning it will be held in Noble Silence with dharma talks and instructions in both wisdom and heart practices. The schedule will consist of sitting, walking and practice meetings with the teacher.

All experience levels are welcome.

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.)
