About Our Retreats:
All of our retreats are in "noble silence" and consist of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and Dhamma instructions. They are suitable for both beginning and experienced meditators. Clear and simple instruction will be presented throughout the retreat. At our residential retreats a longer discourse on the dhamma will be presented each evening. Residential retreats are held in silence except for 'interview' periods when meditators who choose can meet with the teacher to ask questions and discuss issues regarding their sitting experience. Sitting meditation periods of 45 minutes will alternate with periods of walking meditation throughout each day. Residential retreat fees cover the cost for a room (may be double), vegetarian meals, rental of the meeting space, and travel expenses for the teacher(s). In keeping with the Buddha's instructions, teachers are not to charge a fee for access to these priceless teachings, so the fee you are charged does not figure in any sort of honorarium or payment to the teacher, however individual donations (dana) to the teacher are encouraged.
