This retreat supports the natural unfolding of samādhi (concentration) as an innate capacity of the mind-heart that emerges when the conditions are gently aligned. Rather than striving to achieve concentration, we cultivate a grounded presence that allows the mind to become collected and unified through direct, embodied experience. As the mind stabilizes, a natural joy and contentment emerge—qualities that can become trustworthy companions on the path of insight.
Samādhi practice was emphasized by the Buddha as one of the aspects of the Eightfold Path. The focus will be on both developing concentration and exploring the experience of a concentrated and contented mind as a natural, mysterious, and beneficial phenomena.
The practice will be anchored by two daily guided meditations (45 to 60 minutes). This retreat will be held in noble silence except for the guided meditations, talks, and teacher-led practice support meetings.
