We're in winter friends. Deep winter. February in Vermont winter. Practice is already right here. Let's keep it simple and close on this day-long meditation retreat w/ teacher and friend Zac Ispa-Landa. Join us in this daylong retreat to practice meditation in community. We will practice sitting and walking meditation, visualizations, lovingkindness, prayer, and movement. We will also explore what this emerging practice community might look like as it grows . The foundation of our practice will be to cultivate clarity, stability, and spaciousness so we can see more deeply into the nature of our heart-mind. We’ll practice connecting to the loving and compassionate nature of the heart with Homecoming practices supported by our guides and sources of refuge.
Throughout this retreat, we’ll experience more freedom and spaciousness and will practice being in relationship with the awakened essence of our own mind.
The teachings of this retreat are grounded in Buddhism, particularly vipassana meditation and Vajrayana practices as taught by Lama Rod Owens.
