Embodying Simplicity: In Our Meditation Practice And In Our Lives

A 2-day Insight Meditation Retreat
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All Manner of things shall be well
- T.S. Eliot  Little Gidding 


​February 5 and 6
Saturday and Sunday Online

Saturday - 9am to 4pm
Sunday - 9am to 3:30pm
The Buddha's teachings on simplicity provide an essential component for living a life of contentment and freedom.  In this retreat we will gather together and explore the many facets of this teaching through the practice of continuous mindfulness meditation in silence throughout the day—in sitting and walking meditation. The retreat will be held mostly in silence. There will be optional discussion times to discuss the experiential meditative approaches that will be offered throughout the retreat. This retreat is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
COST: ​​ ​​No ​​Cost ​​Retreat ​​- ​​Donations ​​to ​​the ​​teacher ​​are ​​gratefully ​​accepted. ​​Participants ​​will ​​have ​​the ​​opportunity ​​to ​​offer ​​dana ​​(donations) ​​to ​​the ​​teacher ​​​​at ​​retreat’s ​​end. ​The ​​teacher ​​will ​​receive ​​no ​​other ​​financial ​​compensation.
Space ​​is ​​limited, ​​so ​​please ​​register ​​early. ​​ ​​Be sure to select a ticket quantity at the top of the registration page.  You will receive a confirmation email when your registration is completed.

And New Year's eve was a light hearted hour of music, poetry, good news, letting go of the old and setting intentions for the new.  Special thanks to Eunice Colette and Cindy and Phil Sasso for the live music.
