The “Still Heart of Awareness” retreat (Sep. 1 – 8) will introduce three themes of practice: concentration through mindfulness of breathing, developing heart qualities through loving-kindness meditation, and connecting to the liberating factor of awareness.
There is much more to say about these meditations than can be included in one week. So we are also offering a 21-day extension to the retreat that will further expand on these practices, suggesting additional meditation techniques and understandings. The extension, from Sep. 9 – 30, is only available to those who participate in the “Still Heart of Awareness” retreat, as the retreat is an essential foundation for the continued practices in the extension.
The extension will feature the same themes in a less intensive format, with one teaching session a day (except Sundays) that will offer either meditation instructions, Q&A, or a talk. In the retreat we are asking everyone to follow a retreat schedule at home, but in the extension we will be encouraging you to integrate the teachings into your life as works best for you. If it is possible for you to continue with a retreat schedule at home, that would be wonderful and beneficial. If that is not suitable, then you can incorporate the extension teachings as they suit your daily life. Audio from the talks and instructions will be posted to Dharma Seed afterwards for retreatants only.
