Upcoming Programs by Barry Gillespie
Silence, Stillness and Concentration
September 23 - 29, 2024
A traditional Theravada silent mindfulness retreat with emphasis on stillness, concentration and continuity of practice, leading participants to a spacious stillness of mind, a radiant calm. There will be regular seated and walking practice, daily meditation instruction, evening dharma talks, an optional daily gentle yoga class, individual practice meetings and time every day to hike/walk in the beautiful natural world surrounding the retreat center. All of the teachings will be based directly on the Buddha's teachings found in the Pali Canon, in particular in the Satipatthana Sutta.
