RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!

OPEN TO ALL SELF-IDENTIFIED BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR
Description:
The waves of life are strong and unpredictable. Developing the capacity to stay the course, to be fluid in uncharted territory, and to brave discomfort and uncertainty allows us to mine the treasures that reside in the domain of unknowing and mystery. The medicine of Dharma holds us steady, trains us to lead with the heart, and teaches us to trust our capacity to return home to wholeness as we navigate an uncertain world.
Through silence and guided meditation, mindful movement and contemplative practices in nature, we will engage in opening our hearts to renewed possibilities of spaciousness, wonder, creativity, and liberation.
IMPORTANT – Details on our current COVID Safety Protocols for In-person Retreats. Subject to change.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
Prerequisite: Completion of at least two 7-night silent residential insight meditation retreats (in-person retreat experience; online retreats are not eligible).
Description:
Concentration, (samādhi), the collection and unification of the mind, was emphasized by the Buddha as one of the aspects of the Eightfold Path. It can bring joy to your practice and lead to the skillful use of pleasure in the meditative process. Whatever your level of practice, you can improve your Insight Meditation (vipassanā) by strengthening your concentration skills. Your ability to concentrate will develop in response to the attention you give it.
This retreat will offer a series of techniques for staying on the meditation object for extended periods of time. We will explore the factors of concentration that lead to the deep absorption states known as jhanas. Teachers will also give instruction for utilizing concentration during Insight practice.
