Poetry that Opens the Dharma Heart to Compassion and Insight
During this daylong retreat, our usual sitting and walking practices will be informed by periods of reading poetry to each other. Each poem is carefully chosen by Phillip Moffitt with an eye toward selections that point us to Dharma insights. Poems of this nature can comfort us and inspire us to take our meditation understandings into our daily life such that we see the world through Dharma eyes and respond from the Dharma heart.

Naturally Arising Samādhi [Concentration]
This retreat develops concentration through specific meditative practices that utilize the mind’s natural capacity to become collected and unified. Our focus will be on developing concentration; exploring the experience of a concentrated and contented mind as a natural, mysterious, and beneficial phenomena; and utilizing concentration during Insight practice. The primary teaching method will be two daily guided 45-60 minute meditations, and participants are strongly encouraged to listen to guided meditations ahead of time to experience this style of practice.
