The Platform of Joy: Insight Meditation Weekend - WBApril 8 - 11, 2010
Retreat is Closed | |
Within longing, behind addiction, beneath rage and under confusion lies a joy accessible to all. Uncovered by the Buddha during a period of self-investigation preceding his awakening, this joy became the wellspring of his psychology and the foundation of his Middle Path. The Buddha called it 'the way to enlightenment.' This silent insight meditation retreat, celebrating Buddhist practice but also drawing on the wisdom of contemporary psychotherapy, will create opportunities to experience this joy for ourselves and to use it to deepen our understanding.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators, this weekend will include talks about the teachings, questions and answer sessions and periods of optional daily yoga.
8 CEs are available for Psychologists and Licensed Mental Health Counselors. An additional fee of $50 will be payable at the end of your retreat when you receive your certificate. | |
