Liberation through Mindfulness and Insight
Spaces Still Available! This silent meditation retreat is rooted in the early Buddhist tradition, drawing on a living lineage of liberating practice from the time of the Buddha. Through kind, sustained attention to body and mind, we cultivate mindfulness and insight through direct experience rather than theory. Within the supportive structure of silence, clarity and ease can naturally arise. Suitable for newcomers and experienced meditators, the retreat includes guided and self-supported meditation, with limited speaking for Q&A and practice meetings.

Mettā Retreat: Teachings and Practices to Cultivate a Wise, Compassionate, and Resilient Heart
12 CE Credits. Registration Open. This retreat focuses on the cultivation of mettā, or lovingkindness—the development of a heart grounded in goodwill toward oneself and all beings. Through sustained practice, we train the heart in kindness, drawing on mindfulness to recognize and soften patterns that limit the heart. While centered on mettā, we also explore compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity. Held primarily in noble silence, the retreat includes guided meditation, Dharma talks, and meetings with teachers.
