Mindfulness of the Body
Despite the name, “mind-fulness,” meditation is not about the cerebral mind overcoming the physical body. Instead, mindfulness practice includes deeply connecting with the body and learning to reap the support and wisdom it offers. Join us as we explore mindfulness of the body as an integral part of mindfulness practice. The day will include guided and silent meditations, alternating periods of sitting and walking, and short Dharma talks.

The Three Trainings of the Noble Eightfold Path: Theory and Practice
Community Teacher Rich Howard will combine Thursday 2/22 and Saturday 2/24 into an extended exploration of the four noble truths. You may attend either session or both.

While Thursday evening’s session introduced the first three truths, Saturday’s daylong retreat will be a deeper dive into the fourth truth, the path to the end of suffering. As a framework for this exploration, we will use the three trainings of the path: the training in sila (ethical conduct, harmonious living), the training in samadhi (concentration, collectedness of mind), and the training in pañña (wisdom, insight, understanding). Through guided meditation, short dharmettes, and discussion, we will see how these trainings free us from unskillful thoughts, speech, and actions, from obsessive mind states, and ultimately from dukkha (unsatisfactoriness/vulnerability/suffering) itself. The day will also feature readings from American monk and translator Bhikkhu Bodhi’s latest book, “Noble Truths, Noble Path” (Wisdom Publications, 2023). Bring a lunch and plan to stay all day.

As the new year approaches, we take stock of 2023 and our lives, not as we wish them to be or fear them to be but as they truly are. And we look with integrity at the changes we hope to make in the near future.
