Retreat Description:
In this time of crisis and uncertainty, our mind can move towards confusion and fear, or towards clarity and connection. Our practice gives us tools to stay present with the swirl of mind states and emotions that naturally arise as well as the centeredness to respond with wisdom and compassion. Even more, we can be Thich Nhat Hanh’s “calm person in the boat” transmitting our own centeredness to others in our lives. Just as fear is contagious so is the collectedness that we develop within ourselves.

Join us in this 5-day online retreat. Practice at home, but not alone, as we support each other in deepening our connection in the midst of it all.

Financial assistance is available for all Spirit Rock residential retreats. Our scholarship rate is $40/night and available for all those with financial hardship with special funds allocated to People of Color (POC), folks with serious medical conditions, seniors and young adults (age 18-26).

Retreat Description:
The paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can’t be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thoughts or mental projections. Pure consciousness is neither high nor low, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad.

Join us for this retreat where we will learn how to pay attention to this quality of awareness through formal and informal meditation. Once we know how to pay attention, it can be experienced in an instant – in all circumstances. When we reside in that liberated mind, we find the very thing we have been seeking all along.

The retreat includes silent sitting and walking periods with instructions and practice meetings with teachers, as well as daily dharma talks. This retreat is for both experienced as well as new students.

Financial assistance is available for all Spirit Rock residential retreats.
