This half-day retreat will consist of:

• Seated & walking meditation practice
• Opening dharma talk
• Guided meditation instruction
• Noble silence

*This daylong retreat is facilitated by Nick Ingrisani. I have held a consistent meditation practice since 2013, primarily in the lineages of Tibetan and Theravāda Buddhism, and stepped onto the teaching path after completing Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach's two-year meditation teacher training program. My approach to meditation is centered on everyday life, weaving the practice into our daily rhythms, responsibilities, and communities. By practicing and cultivating presence throughout our lives, we awaken our hearts to meet each moment with more compassion, gratitude, and courage. Explore Nick's writing here.
