4 CE Credits. Everyone wants to be calm and peaceful. Our restlessness and agitation stem from an untrained, reactive mind and a lack of clear perception of what's happening in our mind and body from moment to moment. During this retreat, we will train our hearts and minds to find a calm abiding in the present moment.

As we look outward into the world and inward to our own hearts, it becomes apparent that we are living in the infancy of our species’ human potential to dream of a world free from suffering. Our world needs fresh eyes, brightened by the goodness that resides within. During this day we will practice silent and guided meditation. Through visual imagery, talks, and journaling, we will nourish our capacity to rewire conditioned perspectives that smother the fire of imagination.

5 CE Credits. In concentration and serenity meditation (samatha), we return awareness to one meditation object to the exclusion of everything else, unifying the mind stream. This process of purifying the mind reveals with heightened clarity the habitual patterns that cause us to suffer. Throughout this process, a laser-like awareness can develop, leading to peace, stillness, joy, as well as the meditative absorptions known as jhānas. Topics include: the practice path; the relationship between samatha and vipassanā, and working with striving and hindrances.

Liberation won't be found in trying to create the perfect personality, because it isn't the personality that realizes liberation. Using the Buddha's teachings on not-self as a contemplative strategy, rather than a doctrine to believe in, is a way to freedom in the heart/mind. This daylong will explore teachings on not-self and how to bring them into present moment experience. The day will include periods of sitting and walking meditation, as well as Dharma reflections and Q&A.

7.5 CE Credits. When the stressors and traumas of our life build up and take their toll on our psyche, it is a natural response to turn inwards to find rejuvenation and healing in the Dharma. This is the time to draw from the deep well of the brahmavihāras of lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. As we learn to nurture ourselves with lovingkindness, these life-transforming practices can heal and open our heart, soothe our anxious mind, and calm our inner critic.
