What is a mini-retreat?
A retreat is when we step out of our normal busy modern life, even if just for a short period of time, and focus inwardly on a topic that causes our mind to become calm and peaceful. Each retreat will have two sessions, with a short break between sessions. Each session will start with a teaching followed by a guided meditation on the teaching, and there will be time for Q&A. You will be able to experience directly the essence of the teaching and the calm peaceful effect the meditation has on your mind.
