In this retreat full instruction in the practice is given through guided meditations and interviews as well as evening talks. This retreat is a rare opportunity to engage in an extended period of individual meditation without interruption. It will be similar to the solitary retreat in February . As we begin to approach the year-end, we may be moved to reflect on our life. Insight meditation will provide the framework for exploring these questions and our responses to them, as an authentic way of being alive.
Inner peace is born of awakening into the very experience of our life.
This weekend will explore the relationship between the simple practices of meditation and the development of insight and transformation. We will explore the basis of enduring calm and transforming wisdom. A full schedule of sitting and walking, dharma talks and group interviews will form the structure of the weekend. This retreat will be similar to the 2000 New Year s Retreat.
