Compassionate action plays a central role in many of the great wisdom traditions. In this retreat, we’ll practice sitting and walking meditation in Noble Silence to quiet our minds and open our hearts. There will be meditation instruction and dharma talks on the retreat theme. We will also do some guided meditations and interactive exercises designed to deepen our understanding of the joys and challenges of working to benefit living beings and our planet.
Intimacy and Awakening
An Insight Meditation Retreat
July 29-August 2, 2020
Shambhala Mountain Center, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado
“Enlightenment is intimacy with all things,” said Dōgen Zenji, a respected teacher in the Zen Buddhist tradition. In this retreat, we’ll explore the meaning and implications of Dōgen’s words, both in terms of our close relationships and in our lives in general. We’ll spend much of our time together practicing sitting and walking meditation in Noble Silence. There will be dharma talks on the retreat theme, meditation instructions, and small group interviews with the teacher. In addition, we’ll do some interactive exercises and guided meditations that are designed to deepen our understanding of the powerful role of intimacy in the process of spiritual awakening.
Deepening Your Practice
An Insight Meditation retreat for experienced students
August 17-23, 2020
Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center - Jamestown, Colorado
This retreat is for those who want to deepen their practice and to listen to what the Thai meditation master Ajahn Chah called “the one who knows.” Ultimately, spiritual maturation involves learning to trust our own inner guidance and resting in the felt realization that we already are what we seek. In a caring, supportive environment, we’ll practice sitting and walking meditation in silence. There will be dharma talks on the retreat theme as well as guided meditations and some interactive exercises that highlight the transformative power of the teachings.
