Please join us for our upcoming non-residential retreat on Saturday March 1 and Sunday March 2. This retreat will offer extended periods of meditation (including instruction on mindfulness of walking and eating) and talks based on the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths. The retreat will run from 8 AM to 6 PM on Saturday, with an option for extended sitting on Saturday night from 7-9 PM (or as long as participants decide to practice) and from 8 AM to noon on Sunday, concluding with a pot luck for participants. Please bring a personal sack lunch for Saturday. Those choosing to stay for extended practice on Saturday night will either need to bring dinner or will have a brief period to go eat before returning. Sunday bring a dish to share with others for the pot luck, but please plan to stay to share in the meal even if you are not able to bring one. This retreat will be held in Noble Silence, and in keeping with dietary practices typically cultivated on retreats we ask that food items brought be vegetarian. Also for those bringing a dish on Sunday please bring a description of what is in the dish as many at the Sangha cultivate particular dietary commitments.

Dana for this retreat is on a sliding scale; pay as you are able. The suggested Dana is $75 for all or part of the retreat, and the minimum is $20.
