"What is this wonder? Alertly seeing through confusion is the way of silent illumination and the origin of subtle radiance." —Hongzhi
Join us, October 19th, for a day of silent meditation and mindfulness at Spring Hollow Lodge in Sharon Woods Metro Park. We will explore the wonder of simply sitting, breathing, and attending to the present moment. The practice of meditation and mindfulness reveal the clarity and openness of our original nature, allowing us to heal and come back to our basic wholeness.
The day will include silent seated meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, opportunities to walk in the woods and meditate outside, a dharma talk, and dharma sharing at the end. Though the majority of the retreat will be in silent contemplation, there will be opportunities at the end of the day to connect socially with other participants.
This is a donation-based event. A vegan lunch and snacks will be provided. Please fill out the short form and RSVP through the website (below) to let us know how much food to prepare and of any special needs. RSVPing is encouraged but not mandatory. Part-time attendance is welcome. We will also send out more details to those attending as we get closer to the day of the event.
