Fall Residential Retreat: Insight and Reflections On Impermanence with Shaila Catherine

Two Different Length Options:
7 nights, ending Friday, November 11, 2016 at 1 pm, or
3 nights, ending Monday, November 7, 2016.

This silent meditation retreat will emphasize direct insight through a continuity of mindfulness and the perception of impermanence. The focus of the meditation instructions will be mindfulness of body, feelings, and mind. In honor of the recent Halloween Holiday, optional instructions will be offered in the classic practices of skeleton, corpse, and death contemplations, as powerful means of practicing nonattachment. Meditation instructions, consultations with the teacher, and daily dhamma teachings make this retreat suitable for both new and experienced practitioners. The peaceful setting under great pines offers a unique opportunity for silent meditation—an insight holiday. This exquisitely beautiful retreat center sits right on the shore of Lake Tahoe. It is an inspiring environment that enables participants to enjoy walking meditation on the beach, and if weather permits, mindful kayaking on the lake.

COST: 7 nights for $590-$900 sliding scale, or 3 nights for $290-$500 sliding scale, plus a voluntary donation to the teacher at the end of the retreat.

This sliding scale allows scholarship needs to be handled by self-selecting an amount lower than $715 or $360. The cost includes comfortable accommodation in a shared cabin, three delicious vegetarian meals each day, and staff services. Depending on attendance, a limited number of single-occupancy rooms may be available upon request for $400 extra. Space is limited and priority will be given to those registering for 7 nights. 3-night registrations and single-room requests will be confirmed in early October.
