In this retreat, we will engage in sustained meditation practice to cultivate a deeper understanding and connection with our internal experience. By observing the natural flow of the mind-body process, we develop the clarity and compassion necessary to meet life’s joys and challenges, pleasure and pain, fear and joy, sadness and happiness with greater acceptance and balance.

Our focus will center on the practice of Metta, a Pali term often translated as loving-kindness, friendship, or goodwill. Metta practice nurtures an open-hearted capacity for kindness toward ourselves and others, serving as an antidote to fear and reactivity. Over time, this practice fosters a sense of connection with all of life, grounded in acceptance and care.

The retreat will take place in noble silence, offering an environment conducive to deep practice. Daily activities will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, mindful movement, silent sitting and walking meditation, and group interviews to support your practice.

This retreat is open to both beginners and experienced meditators.
