A Life Changing Experience

“The meditation on Mindfulness of Breathing is not only suitable for all beings, it is also the direct way to enlightenment.”

Namgyal Rinpoche

Many first-time meditators choose Vipassanā for their first retreat.

Vipassanā is ideal for those new to meditation because it introduces you to the foundations needed to build a strong meditation practice and is a doorway to profound insight and realization.

If you have a background in Vipassanā retreats and are interested in doing something that is similar but a next step, with a live teacher, then this retreat may be for you.

Led by Catherine Pawasarat Sensei, this retreat gives an opportunity for more detailed instructions based on the Buddhist suttas, and opportunities for asking questions and receiving feedback on your practice.

We’ll practice a balanced meditative approach using the foundations of mindfulness from the Annapanasati Sutta.

Sutta. The Buddha called these teachings, “the most direct path to (spiritual) realization.” They’re also called “the foundations of mindfulness;” this retreat supports you to cultivate deeper skills with these teachings and practices, essential for your spiritual unfoldment. These breath-centered practices are suitable whether you are a new or seasoned meditator, or have always wanted to do a longer retreat. Gift yourself the in-person guidance of an accomplished meditation teacher and deepen your commitment to the alleviation of suffering, yours and others’. In-person, with an online option upon approved application.
