Join this non-residential, weekend Insight Meditation retreat to steady your mind and soften your heart. Each time I stop what I am doing, listen, and feel, an alignment occurs; a stilling, a settling and harmonizing of my mind and body. I feel better. I no longer want to be somewhere else. I step out of time into direct experience of life. In the midst of our inevitable stresses, devoting a few days to realigning is the medicine we need. Sitting and walking meditation together can help us meet the universal desire to be happy, well and at ease.
Suitable for all levels of experience. Howie will provide teachings, instructions and opportunities to ask practice questions.
