Front Range Meditation Day Retreat: Overcoming Overwhelm

In this busy modern world we live in, many people find themselves surrounded by distractions, demands from others, pressures from work, and just generally caught up in the fast pace of life, with overpacked schedules, and continuous input from electronic devices. Add to that the typical challenges of life such as the latest news alerts, illness and financial stress, and even enjoyable challenges such as raising kids and hosting family dinners. Sometimes the demands on us seem far greater than we can handle, and we can feel under attack from all directions! Is it possible to find a quiet, centered place to dwell within the chaos of our busy, modern lives?Come to our first annual Front Range Away Day Retreat at Buckhorn Retreat Center in Bellvue, Colorado and learn how to apply Buddha' s teachings to overcome this sense of "overwhelm" that so many of us are experiencing.

This retreat is open to everyone, but we have limited space for 60, so please register as early as possible before spots sell out!

We will have chairs and cushions to sit on. If you have your own meditation cushion or mat, feel free to bring it with you. Dress comfortably in layers as weather in Colorado is unpredictable. There will be time on breaks to go for walks on the Buckhorn grounds and trails, or to read or sunbathe on the deck outside the meditation retreat room.

Check-in and light breakfast served from 9-9:50am. The first session of retreat will begin at 10am.
