Happy 2018! Deep practice relies on a gentle mind - so spend a day developing kindness, then hone your mindfulness skills with two days of intensive meditation, and register for a 3-day retreat led by Chan Buddhist teacher David Listen. 
3-DAY RETREAT
Still NeverMinding

DAVID LISTEN Feb 16th-19th

Explore your mind through the Teachings of the Platform Sutra of Master Hui Neng. On this intensive retreat, free from the distractions of daily life, you will come directly face-to-face with your "self." With the support of the strict regulations and sustained practice, you'll become confronted with your own habits and preferences, and realize that they are the sources of your suffering.

DAY-LONG RETREATS
NeverMind

DAVID LISTEN Jan 14th & Jan 15th

Learn how to find peace and clarity of mind, through the use of Chan Buddhist meditation methods on and off the cushion--in stillness and movement. David will give instructions based on the principles of the Platform Sutra, one of the most important texts within Chan Buddhism, which takes all of the essential teachings of the Buddha and simplifies them into everyday, practical language.

These retreats are intensive--there are strict guidelines of noble silence (no talking), no writing or note taking, no cell phone use, and no leaving the retreat center grounds.
