⚠️ Please note: The event is currently full.
Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate those who have RSVPd on Meetup or through the website. If you haven’t registered, we kindly ask that you don’t attend this time. Thank you so much for your understanding and hope to see you next time :)

A special opportunity to deepen your meditation practice in a full-day Insight Meditation retreat at Sala Dāna.

In this day of practice, we will explore the art of presence as taught by the Buddha—meeting each moment with full and direct awareness, just as it is. We’ll practice staying present with whatever arises, both within us and around us, with mindfulness and gentle curiosity.

The retreat will mostly be held in silence and will include guided meditation, periods of sitting and walking practice, a Dharma talk, and time for reflections and questions.

Participants are kindly asked to bring a light lunch, as we’ll be sharing Sala Dāna’s space for a mindful meal. You're also welcome to enjoy the tea corner during breaks.

As a special support for our practice, this will be a phone-free event. Mobile phones will be collected at the start of the silent period and returned at the end of the day.

The retreat is limited to 20 participants - please RSVP here to reserve your place!
(if you later realize that you won't be able to attend, please cancel your reservation to allow other participants to join).
