Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years, this retreat will be a fine opportunity to go deep into yourself and the nature of life.  Bring the crazyness of your mind and the concerns of your heart and discover that peace is possible.  There is a well worn path to reduce suffering and fill your life with love, compassion and joy.

If you have tried to meditate in the past and "failed" you can count on going home from this retreat with the understanding and skills to turn your entire life into meditation. 

There will be instruction and practice in sitting and walking meditation as well as Dharma talks, movement meditation, opportunities to ask questions and individual guidance with Robert.

If you wish, you will be able to bask mindfully in the natural hot pools under the stars, dip in the cold clean waters of the Breitenbush River, or meditate late into the night in the Forest Shelter.
