Participants will train their minds in present time awareness by bringing attention to the breath and body and our inner-relationship to the pleasant and unpleasant physical, emotional and mental states that arise.
This type of meditation allows practioners to gradually understand the truth of the constantly changing nature of all things and how to respond with compassion and friendliness to the inevitably difficult experience of being human.
This retreat is suitable for both beginning and experienced meditators. Meditation instructions will be offered in both sitting and walking practice.
Registration: $40-$65 (sliding scale) plus dana to the teacher.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please call or write for info on work study and scholarships.
