You will be notified about the selection results within two weeks of the application close date. If you have been offered a space, you will have two days to pay a deposit to accept/hold the space. If you don’t accept the space within this deadline, we will offer it to the next person in line.

And, while we are not able to offer “pay what you can”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings as space allows.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!

Description:
In this retreat, we will explore aging and dying from the Buddhist perspective of meditative practice and awakening. Together, we’ll examine aging and death in our conventional lives and see what happens as we normalize these processes as part of the great letting go. How does the practice of letting go reveal the awakened heart?

This retreat will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, and group meetings with teachers. There will also be one period of interactive contemplative inquiry each day during which we will investigate our own relationship to death.

Prerequisite: Completion of at least one 5-night (or longer) silent residential Insight Meditation retreat (online retreats are not eligible) and be 55 years or older.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
