strengthen your stability and calm - Come home, to the source
We will rest into a spacious schedule of formal and informal practice with some of our sessions offered in nature. We don't need to do a lot and we don't need to have a lot in order to deeply nourish our happiness and wellbeing. We simply come home to the natural environment and drink from the well of our own innate goodness and the timeless wisdom teachings.
Sessions of sitting meditation, walking in nature, tai chi, deep relaxation, teachings and inquiry sessions will be offered on this retreat. In the spirit of the ancient Dharma traditions, we aspire once again to be offering some of the sessions in the forest glade.
Retreat cost plus Dana for the Teachings:
