A Meditation Retreat

A meditation retreat is a wonderful opportunity to experience our own inner being while sharing in the support of others. Mindfulness throughout the day will be a focus, with alternating periods of sitting and walking practice. The retreat will be held in silence, with instructions for beginning and advanced meditators, evening talks, optional group meetings and private interviews with the teachers.

This kind of retreat may not be appropriate for all people. If you have concerns about your emotional stability under the pressures of a deeply introspective meditation experience, please discuss your concerns with a Deep Spring teacher prior to registering.

Retreat costs represent our expense to rent facilities and provide meals and other services. Teachings are offered on a dana basis. If finances are a concern, please let us know.

Dana (pronounced "dah-na") is a Pali word meaning "gift" or "giving." It is closely related to the virtue of generosity and is expressed in many  forms—the offering and sharing of our time, energy, knowledge/expertise, material items and financial resources. Dana is a purely volitional act of giving in which we develop our ability to let go, convey our compassion and caring, demonstrate our commitment, and acknowledge our interdependence and connectedness.
