Our Sacred Roots: A Meditation Retreat for Women

For thousands of years, women have contributed to and deepened Buddhist practices of liberation across cultures and continents. Women’s voices, experiences, and stories, however, have been largely neglected in Buddhist history. By retrieving the sacred roots of our feminine lineage, we imbue spiritual life with wisdom, tenderness, courage, and resilience.

During this retreat, we will reconnect to and embody women’s unique expression of spiritual life from the time of the Buddha through the present day, across the cultural spectrum. Our time together will include the practice of noble silence, Dharma talks, mindful and accessible movement, stationary meditation, and practices for cultivating the heart. There will be opportunities for practice discussions with the teachers.

We welcome all those who identify as women, as well as non-binary folks who feel nourished in spaces that center women’s stories and experience.
