Samadhi Retreat

This retreat will be an opportunity for stepping up our formal practice for a week and letting the mind settle into the steady rhythm that is the basis of samadhi.  It will begin Saturday Feb 19th and conclude the following Saturday evening, Feb 26th.

This retreat will be held in Shelburne, MA, with limited opportunity for in-person practice.  If you would like to participate, contact [email protected] for more info.
