Description:

Change is normal and necessary, but often we are unprepared to manage it skillfully. Research shows that meeting change with mindfulness and having specific tools to navigate uncertainty allows us to experience well-being even when life is challenging.

Change naturally brings up concerns, fears, and questions that can lead to confusion, lack of motivation, or poor decisions. To help you effectively respond to these challenges, during this workshop you will have the opportunity to:

• Use our “Journey through Change Map” to orient yourself in your change.
• Recognize mind habits that undermine you and learn practices to disengage from them.
• Identify your values and intentions so you have a basis for making wise decisions.
• Create a plan for navigating your change.

Expect a weekend full of dynamic inquiry and the opportunity to learn essential life skills for meeting your changes and transitions with authenticity, confidence, and clarity.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!

Prerequisite: Completion of one (or more) 7-day/6-night (or longer) silent, residential or online Insight meditation retreat. If you are new to Nine Bodies, you are also encouraged (but not required) to complete a Nine Bodies Intro series before coming on the retreat.

Description:
The Nine Bodies teaching presents a unified map of the various capacities of consciousness, which are often only partially recognized (or completely unrecognized) even among long-term practitioners. This retreat offers a method for practicing Insight meditation in which consciousness itself becomes the object of meditation.

We will start with establishing mindfulness through the practice of arriving, and then turn toward ever more subtle levels of consciousness. The practice utilizes the felt sense as a means for freeing the mind of over-conceptualization and supporting the arising of liberating insights.

We respectfully acknowledge that this method is an integration of the Nine Bodies teachings from Himalayan yoga master Premvarni Balyogi and Thai Forest Insight teachings.

The retreat will include detailed guided meditations, teaching sessions, and cohort (small group) practice meetings. It is not recommended for practitioners experiencing acute grief or other strong mental challenges.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Scholarship offerings: In returning to the land, we will also be returning to our pre-pandemic scholarship options and policies. All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($50/night).

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!

Description:
A fundamental aspect of establishing embodied mindfulness centers around contemplations of the elements. In the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and air represent the four basic qualities of matter – solidity, liquidity, temperature, and motion. The Buddha also gave instruction for knowing space as a fifth element. These five elements are universal and when we contemplate them in relation to the body, they may bring a cooling of the grasping mind and a profound realization of emptiness and fullness.

During this retreat, we will practice with the descriptive nature of each of the elements, which can be known through the felt-sense, energetic-sense, and intuitive-knowing. We will contemplate the relationship they have with each other, their importance to establishing mindfulness and concentration, and allow them to support non-conceptual knowing from which insights naturally arise. This retreat includes guided and silent meditations, mindful movement, and practice meetings with teachers.
