Relaxation Retreat

This is a nine-day intermediate retreat, designed for people newer to the practice. Sitting periods are generally twenty to thirty minutes. Wake-up time is not as early as on an advanced retreat. The meditation method will be taught in the context of daily life activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, sleeping, working, and eating. Chanting and gentle yoga exercises further harmonize the body, breath, and mind. The retreat also includes daily lectures, meditation instruction, guided meditation, and personal interviews.
