This retreat focuses on the embodiment of wisdom and compassion. Through the cultivation of samadhi (a gathering of our heart, mind and body energies), we establish a healing foundation for insight into our mistaken identification with patterns of self. As structures of the self are gently released from grasping and aversion, our heart knows the emptiness and peace of its original nature. Authentic, compassionate response and intuitive understanding arise, and the non-dual nature of emptiness and appearance is recognized.

Pali chanting and mantra recitation will be included in the course's daily schedule. An optional early-morning bowing practice centered on Bodhisattva Kuan Yin and optional periods of qigong will also be offered.

This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.

Listen to an interview with Thanissara and Kittisaro.
