Retreat Description:
Awareness is the secret jewel innate in everyone. Awareness illuminates experience that supports clarity, understanding and insight. It is the foundation for wisdom, compassion and awakening.

In this silent meditation retreat we will explore this innate quality of awareness—what it is and how to cultivate and abide in that serene awake presence. We will investigate how mindfulness supports a depth of awareness through various meditation practices, and look at what obscures the clarity of awareness both in meditation and in life. As mindfulness grows we discover how this capacity for awareness is available in every moment.

We will also explore the fusion of love and awareness and how developing awareness allows a natural opening of the heart, which fosters a kind and compassionate awareness to ourselves, to others and to all experience.

Ideally participants will have already attended one silent mindfulness retreat prior to this retreat.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

Retreat Description:
In response to the ongoing challenging conditions of the pandemic, on this Vipassana/Insight meditation retreat we will cultivate the beautiful quality of mindfulness. This mindful awareness nurtures a clarity, wisdom and well-being, qualities so essential at this time. Through “at-home” mindfulness practices, we’ll explore understanding the root causes of stress and suffering and develop the causes for a genuine happiness. These foundational Buddhist practices help you live with a profound ease and freedom wherever you are—the innate peace we all seek.

As well as sitting and walking Insight meditation practice, lovingkindness and compassion teachings will be integrated into the day so that we learn to live with a loving awareness. There will be periods of meditation, talks, questions and discussion. It’s a wonderful retreat to truly integrate these teachings more fully into our lives and practice. We will do so with the supportive community of like-minded meditators.

Description:
On this retreat you could be meditating in your garden, on your deck or in a safe space in nature, practicing of course social distancing. We will learn that we can practice meditation in nature anywhere, even while looking out a window at skies, clouds, birds and sunlight and receive the power of nature’s blessing.

As we practice alone, but together, we will explore potent practices that open the heart and mind to insight, intimacy, and interconnection with all life. We will learn from nature’s wisdom teachings of transience, interdependence, and letting go. We will also see how nature evokes profound peace and calm as well as beautiful qualities of joy, wonder, and love—qualities so essential in these stressful pandemic times.

This retreat will weave together periods of guided sitting and walking meditation and mindful movement.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
