Learn Meditation as a Spiritual Practice Retreat at Drala Mountain Center
June 20 - June 23
Join Susan Piver and Michael Carroll on this 3-day retreat at Drala Mountain Center where participants will explore what it means to live an awakened life.
When it comes to meditation practice, what often gets “left on the table” is the noble, spiritual wisdom that naturally flows from the practice — a profound, intimate experience validated by countless practitioners over thousands of years of Buddhist practice. The same technique that helps you sleep better has also been shown to cultivate patience, wisdom, and the ability to love deeply. It can even lead to complete liberation from suffering!. That’s one hell of a practice.
During this introductory program, we will explore:
- What is mindfulness-awareness meditation and where did it come from?
- How does this simple act of “sitting still” unleash wisdom & compassion?
- How can we establish a sustainable meditation practice?
- Why are the Three Supports and theThree Sacred Acts central to the practice?
This program will offer a thorough and gentle introduction to mindfulness-awareness meditation with time for discussion and optional personal conversation with one of the teachers. Short daily yoga sessions included.
