Join us for a silent Insight Meditation retreat dedicated to deepening practice through mindfulness, heart-centered practices, Dharma reflections, chanting, and mindful movement. With dedicated practice, we uncover the natural radiance of the heart, discovering how these qualities serve as both refuge and path. Through meditation in noble silence and embodied awareness, we strengthen our connection to the heart’s innate wisdom. This retreat invites us to settle into presence, practicing in all four postures as we cultivate insight and steadiness. With a grounded and real world approach, we engage fully with the present moment as a way to return home to the heart. Whether new to retreat or a seasoned practitioner, this is an opportunity to reconnect with what is most essential.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
