Open Practice Weekend: Dharma Talk with Lama Liz Monson (Residential Only)

April 26, 2024 - April 28, 2024

Sorry! Registration is closed.

You are invited to spend a beautiful spring weekend of very lightly structured practice with sangha. Sink into the beauty of Wonderwell’s woods, mountains and sky. Allow Noble Silence to support deepening intimacy with yourself, the environment and your practice.

Open Practice Weekends provide an opportunity for beginning and experienced meditators to deepen in meditation practice and explore the natural beauty of the seasons of Wonderwell. Guided practice and dharma talk attendance is optional. Practice spaces outdoors broaden opportunities for walking and sky gazing meditation. Take advantage of the structure or make your own structure. Scheduled guided meditations will provide gentle, pith instructions for practice. There will be a morning Dharma talk on Saturday with Lama Liz. 

Noble silence is observed from 8:00 pm Friday through 8:00 am Sunday.

The rate on these weekends is as low as possible to allow everyone to attend. The weekend includes vegetarian meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and access to teas and snacks. Rooms will be assigned in the order in which registrations are received. You will not have a choice between an ensuite or hall bathroom. Please email the registrar at if you require an ensuite bathroom for medical reasons.
