The Buddha was a real person who lived 2600 years ago. True, he was exceptional, but still a traveler through the joys and challenges of life. In many ways, his life was his most profound teaching: the search for freedom from suffering and following the search, how to embody the awake heart in a full and meaningful life. For this retreat, we will investigate stories from the Buddha’s life, and explore how these can be of use to us in our lives. There will be an emphasis on not only the journey to awakening, but also on how to meet the everyday challenges and complications of our personal lives and in today’s world. During this silent retreat, there will be sitting and walking meditation, meditation instructions, dharma talks, and individual meetings with the teacher. Like the Buddha, we will practice outside as much as conditions allow. This retreat is open to all - those with experience and those new to practice.
