Annual New Year’s Retreat

With Heather Martin

Our longest running annual retreat falls at a fitting time of year for rest and recuperation following the stimulating Christmas season. As we prepare to enter a new year, it is also the perfect time to reconnect with our wise hearts and calm minds, to release the old and resolve for the new.

Experienced Students Vipassana Retreat

With Heather Martin and Kate Dresher

This retreat is offered for experienced meditators. Your practice should be established, and relatively self-supporting. The prerequisite is a minimum of four week-long residential retreats in this tradition. The schedule allows for self-direction over lengths of practice periods of sitting and walking. There will be an exploration of more nuanced and in-depth aspects of these profoundly liberating teachings. Due to the maturity of the practitioners, this retreat is usually very settled, intimate and a great opportunity for developing collectedness (Samadhi), as well as insight (Vipassana).
