Day-Long Meditation Retreat

Saturday, September 4th
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Ward Simmons
This day-long meditation retreat will provide an opportunity for participants to experience the calming of the mind that can be achieved through a prolonged period of practice. The day will consist of alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation, along with a recorded Dharma talk by a recognized meditation teacher. [Special Note] Although the Online Registration description identifies the price of this workshop as $0, the workshop is actually being offered on a "dana" basis. In the Buddhist tradition, dana means that students make voluntary contributions based upon each individual’s leading to give back in response to what they feel they have received.
