Please Join Us For a Fun And Meaningful Way to Start The New Year
Once again we will be able to hold a December 31st celebration at the sangha house at 5:00 p.m. 
We will have a 30 minute sit followed by our fire ceremony to release what we need to let go of, and to set our intentions for what we wish to embrace in the New Year. 
Friends, family - All are welcome and we hope to see you there!

Freedom through Seeing the Selfless Nature of Experience 
A 2-day Nonresidential Silent Vipassana Meditation Retreat 
February 18-19, 2023
MeadowRock Ranch
Nathrop, Colorado
 
The Buddha’s teachings on Selflessness (Anatta) are some of the most profound and essential aspects of this path towards our freedom and awakening. This retreat will explore the many aspects of this teaching through the practice of continuous mindfulness meditation in silence throughout the day—in sitting and walking meditation. In the silence we can begin to move toward unpacking the delusion of a separate self which allows compassion and wisdom to arise in our lives. Experiential meditative approaches will be offered throughout the retreat and will be supported by optional discussion times.  This retreat is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners. 

This retreat is offered through The Salida Insight Meditation Community. Please register early as the retreats tend to fill up quickly.  This is a dana based retreat.  There is no registration fee but donations to Brian and the Sangha are gratefully accepted during the retreat to cover expenses.  Brian receives no other compensation.  Also note that this is President's Day weekend.  Our last retreat was over Labor Day weekend and unfortunately we had a lot of last minute cancellations and no shows.  We sincerely hope to avoid that this time.
