Program Description

Practitioners of all levels are invited to join in this week of spacious mind.

The practice of sitting meditation slows our torrent of thoughts and distractions, and uncovers the stable, clear and potent quality of our mind. Adapted from the month-long Shambhala Dathun, this urban retreat is an opportunity for us to connect deeply with meditation and relate it directly to our lives. Beginners and seasoned meditators, as well as meditation practitioners of any silent tradition, are all welcome.

The program will include talks, meetings with meditation instructors, contemplative meals, yoga, and plenty of time to let your mind rest from the hectic pace of life. 

Tentative schedule:  Friday evening, then all day Monday through Wednesday (short form) or through Friday (long form), depending on the choice of the participants.  Program price will depend on the number of days.

Our Generosity Policy

In order to make our programs accessible to everyone, we have a “Pay What You Can Afford” plan. If the program price is an obstacle for you, please decide what works for you and offer whatever you can.  Please put the amount you will offer in the comment field when you register.

For those who can offer more than the Program price, we have a Patron price. Your generosity in offering the Patron price helps cover the costs of others who are not able to pay the full Program price.
