~Five Day Online Silent Meditation Retreat~

---

With Kate Mitcheom and Lucia McBee

Mindfulness practice is defined as paying attention on purpose, and also the attitude we bring to this experience. In the Metta-Sutta, the Buddha states that cultivating a boundless heart is “the best and most sublime way of dwelling in this world”. Yet we may find our habitual responses to our experience may be judgmental, striving and unhealthy. In this retreat we will explore the practice of meeting each moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant, with friendliness.   

This 5-day online silent retreat is an opportunity to cultivate and embody awareness and compassion and is appropriate for beginners or experienced meditators. The retreat will mirror a residential silent retreat and offering LIVE, daily instruction, daily Dharma talks and teacher support, community building in silence online through practice – book ended by opportunities to connect in small groups at the beginning and the end of the retreat. An emphasis will be placed on movement practices and accessible yoga that focus on the inter-play between the mind and body.
