NOBLE SILENCE*. LIGHT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH INCLUDED.
Description:
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science,” said Einstein. This extended non-residential retreat will be anchored in sitting and walking in noble silent* practice, with an emphasis on close observation of our lived experience. Teachings will be provided through the complementary lenses of Buddhist and scientific frameworks for understanding the mind. A recent multidimensional phenomenological model of aspects of cognition impacted by meditation will serve as our core organizing framework, inspiring corresponding guided meditations drawn from Buddhist teachings. Current views in cognitive science that emphasize embodiment, context, and interaction will provide additional ways of understanding of what we take to be the self. We will conduct this exploration with the primacy of the inexhaustible mystery of the first-person experience, keeping in mind that both Buddhism and science only serve as maps and are not the territory itself.
The retreat will include periods of guided, seated, and walking meditation, discussion, reflection, and Q&A.
Continuing Education (CE) credit available. Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
