Using the the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, we will explore the Buddha’s path to immediate and complete liberation from Suffering and the Limited Views that cause it.
This daylong retreat will offer guidance in sitting, walking and eating mindfulness meditation pointing towards the Insights of Change and Selflessness. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous meditation experience.
