SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Daylong Retreat - Walt Opie - Inclining the Mind Towards Freedom
DESCRIPTION:For biographical details of the teacher Walt Opie\, click here. \n\n\n\nRetreat Theme\n\n\n\nInclining the Mind Towards Freedom \n\n\n\nThis will be a traditional insight meditation daylong retreat\, with silent sitting and walking\, along with dharma talks and discussion.

The Buddha said we should become aware of the difference between wholesome thoughts and unwholesome thoughts.
