flowers are silent
silence is silent
the mind is a silent flower
the silent flower of the world opens —Ikkyu
Join us 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 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 RSVP to let us know how much food to prepare. RSVP is encouraged but not mandatory. We will also send out more details to those attending as we get closer to the day of the event. To RSVP click the button below on the website. See also the approximate schedule.
