Four-day Urban Insight Meditation Retreats
During the retreat, meditators keep the five precepts and practice sessions will be silent, but in the evenings you are free to explore and you do not have to keep silent.
|
These retreats run from Thursday morning until the early afternoon of the following Sunday. They focus on traditional Buddhist Insight meditation (Vipassana) in the Theravada tradition. .Although chanting, Dhamma talks and discussions are important, more time is assigned for the formal practice of walking and sitting meditation and the Sati (Buddhist mindfulness) aspect of them.. The maximum group size is five to ensure sufficient space for the walking practice.
