Your mind is like the boundless, clear blue sky. Your self-judgment, painful memories, and mental busyness, meanwhile, are like clouds—temporary and ephemeral. With a simple yet profound “Blue Sky Mind” meditation, we can learn to focus on the sky, disengage from the clouds, and discover freedom.

In this beginner’s half-day silent retreat, we will learn how to let go of habitual thought patterns, silence inner chatter, and discover an inner stillness. You will glimpse the possibility of lasting change. Everyone welcome!

Buddhist practice offers a rich philosophical tradition aimed at practical growth and deep inquiry into the nature of reality. It also offers a sophisticated system of psychological understanding focused on inner freedom, and a way of connecting to something sacred and powerful beyond ordinary understanding—similar to many religions but different in essential ways.

Join us for an introduction to Buddhist thought and learn how to use simple techniques from all three fields to solve problems and live a happier, more inspired life. Everyone is welcome!
