Meeting format (During program sessions, you will be able to see and hear the teacher, as well as other program participants, and they will be able to see and hear you)
In the midst of these unusual times, we have this opportunity of doing retreat practice right in the location where our daily life unfolds. Ordinary activities, distractions, and even relational interactions become part of the path of liberation.
With curiosity, kindness, and interest in cultivating well-being and clarity, we carry retreat practice to all aspects of our lives and into this world that we experience moment to moment.
All practitioners are welcome. The Dharma talk will focus on topics of personal meditation practice that are relevant to practice both on retreat and daily life.

Teacher Support
