During this silent retreat, Sept 4-8, we will develop practices that unite the heart and the mind. By combining the Four Foundations of Mindfulness with the practice of Metta, we learn to balance moment-to-moment awareness with the qualities of kindness, care, joy, and equanimity. As your body and mind start to settle, a natural, intuitive wisdom begins to emerge—a process that helps shift your energy toward a sense of wholesome intention and genuine contentment. The retreat offers a supportive space grounded in a field of kind awareness. The teaching style is a hybrid of two traditions—the "Progress of Insight" and "Natural Awareness"—giving you a well-tested framework for practice. The program includes meditation instruction, Dharma teachings, and small group discussions for processing whatever arises in practice. All are welcome to attend, regardless of previous meditation experience.
