Aging, Dying, & Awakening

In this retreat, we will explore aging and dying from the Buddhist perspective of meditative practice and awakening. Together, we’ll examine aging and death in our conventional lives and see what happens as we normalize these processes as part of the great letting go. How does the practice of letting go reveal the awakened heart?

This retreat will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, and group meetings with teachers. There will also be one period of interactive contemplative inquiry each day during which we will investigate our own relationship to death. Otherwise, this retreat is silent outside of the mentioned above periods.
