Online 5-Day Retreat

 

This online five-day retreat is an opportunity to strengthen your practice by sitting together with other practitioners, and receiving guidance from the teacher. A meditation retreat in home setting can actually be very helpful and powerful in furthering our practice in everyday life.

The traditional Chan monastery schedule is modified and adaptable to an online format, starting 9:00 am in the morning, with longer break times, and ending at 9:00 pm.

There are numerous sitting periods throughout the day. In addition to sitting meditation, the retreat also includes mindful work practice, walking meditation, chanting, and gentle yoga exercise.  There will be two Dharma talks each day.
