Contemplation Questions:

Can I remember a time when something I thought was bad turned out to be good - or what I thought was good later revealed itself as painful?

Half-day retreats give us the time and space to truly connect with what matters most. In the quiet space of a few dedicated hours, we can reflect and reaffirm our intention for practice and touch that deeper steadiness that supports us in all areas of life. We'll begin our retreat at 8 am (Pacific Time US) with a short Dharma talk, guided meditation, and instructions for the following 2½ hours of silent practice on your own. We will then meet again at 11:30 am (Pacific Time US) on Live Events for the closing of our retreat, where we’ll share reflections, answer questions, and meditate. Whether you’re new to meditation or a long-time meditator, mini retreats are an integral part of deepening our practice and opening our hearts to the flow of life. 🙏
