Sliding Scale: $25-$1300; Code 347R20.
This retreat is now full and in session.
ONLINE: This at-home retreat is offered online only, on a sliding scale basis from $25-$1300, not including financial support for the teachers.
We are offering an extremely low end of the sliding scale as an experiment. Spirit Rock’s financial health, like many organizations, is suffering. However, in the spirit of generosity that is so central to the Buddha’s teaching, we want to make practice available to all, especially at this time. We hope in that spirit, you will be as generous as possible in considering what you can offer for this retreat.
PLEASE NOTE: This retreat will be modified for an at-home schedule and experience.
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.
