We are no longer accepting registrations for this retreat. Please choose another.

The retreat will focus on the cultivation of samadhi, or unification of mind. Instruction will be given on using the breath as a primary object of awareness. Loving-kindness meditation will also be offered, brightening the heart/mind and supporting wise concentration.


The teachers will have practice meetings with retreatants, so individuals have personalized support for their practice. There will be daily meditation instructions, as well as evening talks on the Buddha’s teachings.


Daily movement practice led by Rasika Link will ease and refresh the body, strengthening mindfulness as the doorway to samadhi.


This silent retreat is open to both beginners and those who have well-established practices of many years.

All Hemera Contemplative Fellowships have been awarded for this retreat. Please feel free to check back here for any updates.
