The Buddha was called 'the Happy One.' His life and practice provided the foundation for what he later described as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. This retreat, open to all, will follow the Buddha's path of mindfulness, concentration and lovingkindness, illustrating how each of us can move from attachment to freedom, from confusion to clarity, and from tension to ease.
Sitting and walking in silence, and investigating the flow of experience moment by moment, we can relinquish the causes of suffering and reclaim our natural happiness.
The teachers will be assisted by Oren J. Sofer. A daily period of mindful movement for all levels of experience and body types will be offered by Jeanne Ann Whittington.
