Saturday, April 26th (9am - 4pm)
and Sunday, April 27th (9am-3:30pm)
In this 2-day, non-residential retreat, we will explore how to interweave meditation with our communication, bringing greater awareness and presence to both speaking and listening. By cultivating this quality of mindful presence, we can more easily respond with wisdom and compassion, potentially transforming our interactions with others. The retreat will include a blend of silent meditation and meditative exercises involving mindfully speaking and listening to each other. These practices will draw inspiration from classical Buddhist teachings on Wise Speech. See Brian's Bio here.
Mount Princeton Hot Springs Conference Center sits at the bottom of the majestic Mt. Princeton. Although this is a non-residential retreat, you are welcome to book a room if you wish to immerse yourself in the space and enjoy the hot springs.
This retreat is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Brian's retreats tend to fill up quickly, so we encourage early registration to secure your spot.
Note: Registration closes on Thursday, April 24th at 11:00 am. Please sign up before this date/time to reserve your space, if available.
We hope to see you there!

Sit now in some lovely wild place and listen to the silence. And I say this, too, is a poem.
