WEEKEND RETREAT MEDITATION AT THE FARM
Bhante Suddhaso

Quiet, peaceful environments, far from the chaos of population centers provide an invaluable opportunity to escape the clamor and claustrophobia of the city and dive headlong into serenity and insight.

Beginner’s Mind Retreat—If you are relatively new to the practice, this is a good first retreat although many experienced practitioners find the variety of practice activities helpful.  Besides sitting, walking, moving and eating meditation, we will also be practicing in workshops ranging from the Art of Seeing to the Art of Communication to learn about how to bring our practice into daily life.  $190 (scholarships available; no prior retreat experience needed) Available –Register Now

Oct 13 (Fri, 6 pm) to October 18 (Wed, 1 pm)  Western Zen Retreat—Within the context of Chan meditation, participants will make use of a question to penetrate the mind to gain a deeper understanding of our habitual tendencies and patterns of thoughts and insights into the working of our mind.  I will be co-leading this retreat with Simon Child and Hilary Richards from the UK.  This retreat has limited spaces as each participant will receive lots of individual instructions in private interviews.  Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.  $320 (scholarships available; no prior retreat experience needed) Available – Register Now

November 21 (Tue, 6 pm) to November 25 (Sat, 5 pm) Thanksgiving Chan Retreat—For those of us who will not be getting together with families over Thanksgiving, we take advantage of the days off from work to engage in retreat practice.  In this five-day Chan retreat, participants will immerse in the practice through sitting, walking, eating and moving meditation with the support of useful teachings passed down the generations and private interviews.  $320 (scholarships available; no prior retreat experience needed) Available – Register Now
