Retreat Theme
A Heart at Ease: Awareness and Wisdom in Challenging Times
About This Retreat
This three-day, non-residential silent meditation retreat invites participants to cultivate awareness and wisdom as a pathway to a heart at ease. Inspired in part by the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya, we’ll practice paying careful attention to the present moment experience—not only during formal sitting and walking meditation, but also throughout the flow of daily life. With an emphasis on continuity of awareness, both at the retreat center and in the hours before and after, participants are encouraged to nurture a gentle, receptive heart that learns to meet each moment with wisdom and ease.
Non-residential retreats offer a unique opportunity for deep and sustained meditation practice in the company of others, while returning home to one’s own space at night. For some, this format provides a gentle introduction to the rhythm of residential retreats. For others, it allows for intensive practice while remaining available for evening responsibilities. Whatever the circumstances, a non-residential retreat offers a precious chance to strengthen mindfulness, cultivate continuity of awareness, and experience the support and inspiration of practicing together in person.
