RETREAT DESCRIPTION

This retreat will observe the annual passage from old year into new within the peace and beauty of Cloud Mountain, a safe refuge, while much of society indulges unhealthy tendencies of excess and stimulation. Dhamma teachings will encourage cultivating mindfulness with the ebbs & flows of breath, body energy, sensations, and mind. In particular, mindfulness with breathing will be emphasized for generating concentration and investigating the nature of mind-body. Reflections on time, change, life, death, renewal, letting go, compassion, and selflessness will inform our practice. Dialog circles will be open to those who wish to explore with others Dhamma themes relevant to the retreat and practice.

Most of each day will be dedicated to sitting and walking meditation, along with the talks and periods for reflection. Noble Silence will pertain, including Q&A, dialogue circles, and personal practice interviews. Qi Gong and posture work will be optional.
