Through hearing, you open up the possibility of overcoming ego.
Through meditation, you can begin to discover the mind's inherent strength and stability. Through contemplation, you link your meditative insights to your actions in this world. When you fully engage with these three, you increase your life-force energy, and your experience of the world becomes more vivid and clear. This weekend retreat is designed for practitioners at all levels of experience. Join us for a weekend of instruction, discussion, walks and talks.
Cost: $85 -- includes room and board. ($25 extra for private room.)
