Retreat Theme
Cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening
This will be a traditional insight meditation daylong with periods of sitting and walking, plus dharma talks on aspects of how to cultivate the Seven Factors of Awakening, namely mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration and equanimity. These factors can be aroused either individually or sequentially and can lead to a very still, peaceful and balanced mind. There will be time for questions and sharing. Suitable for both beginning and more experienced practitioners.
About This Onsite Retreat
- The teacher will present in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. All participants will attend in-person as the retreat will not be available via Zoom.
- Pre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND buttons shown below. Since your registration choice indicates if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.
- After you’ve registered you may later offer a donation in gratitude of the teacher. To offer teacher dana, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.
