1-Day-Long-Retreat

Theme

Resolution and Relaxation -
Exploring the role of effort in meditation

for beginners and advanced students
 
This day long program will explore the vital role that effort plays on the liberating path. We will see how a balanced, wise and persistant effort can strengthen mindfulness. When our effort is balanced and clear - determined yet not forceful, relaxed but not lax - then distracting thoughts will fade away and concentration and insight will deepen.

Schedule:
We won't follow a strict schedule for the flow of meditation and teachings on that day. However, it will include sitting and walking meditation as well as teachings on the above mentioned theme and questions and answers.
Also we will keep noble silence throughout the day for deepening our experiences.
