A Beginner-Friendly Retreat introducing the Practice of Meditation

 


When you develop a meditation practice, you are being kind to yourself and to those you love. Actually – to all sentient beings. The sacred silence at a weekend retreat – especially surrounded by Wonderwell’s natural beauty – can be an inspiring way to begin your journey on the path toward awakening.

The Sanskrit word for meditation is bhavana, which means training the body-heart-mind to remain skillfully present to ‘what is.’ Meditation is supported by mindfulness, the ability to pay attention. Learning to let go of our incessant reliance on the conceptual, thinking mind to open to a more expansive awareness is a key part of the path.

We will learn how to compassionately come alongside whatever arises in our field of experience, including difficult thoughts and feelings. There will be ample time for instruction and guided meditation practice. In addition, personal dharma conversations will be offered as well as time for questions.
