Retreat: "When Awareness Becomes Natural"
At Big Bear Retreat Center in Southern CA
Aug 21-27 (6 nights)
Co-taught with Lienchi Tran
Vipassana retreats are set up so that people can have few duties but to be aware of their experience moment to moment. When removing distractions we become more familiar with the working of our minds and of the particular negative habits that create needless stress for us (worry, annoyance, dissatisfaction, unhappiness, jealousy, the inner critic, etc.) When shining the light of awareness on these habits, they naturally recede and weaken and in their place the positive habits of mind grow (love, kindness, compassion, gratitude, happiness, self-respect and appreciation).
On this 6-night retreat you will be guided in mindfulness of the mind and body and encouraged to practice being aware of all you do throughout the day.
Registration open now.
