At the core of the Buddha’s teachings are the Three Marks of Existence: unsatisfactoriness, not-self, and impermanence. While hearing about these unavoidable aspects of life might sound
daunting, putting these truths into practice can be a source of relief. They help us stop struggling against reality and begin giving life full permission to be imperfect, impersonal, and
impermanent.
 

Our focus during this retreat will be vipassanā, or insight meditation. This is the practice of looking deeply into our direct experience with a mindful awareness. By observing sensations,
thoughts, and emotions as they arise and pass, we begin to see the natural flow of life more clearly. This clarity supports us in meeting ourselves with wisdom and compassion, reducing
suffering and opening space for greater freedom.
 

The retreat will be held in noble silence, creating an environment supportive of deep practice.
 

Each day 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.
