HALF-DAY OF SILENCE

 

Still the Body, Still the Speech, Still the Mind 

A Half-Day of Silence Retreat is held the first Saturday of every month. The meditation practice is from 8AM - 12PM. Please arrive and be seated by 7:55 AM. Registration is not required, you may just show up. We do request if you join the retreat to please stay for the entire retreat unless an emergency. Always free and all are welcome.

This is an opportunity to explore the meditation practice in consecutive periods of focusing, dwelling, contemplating, and settling into silence. This retreat is perfect for both beginners and for those already established in their meditation practice. Periods of seated meditation, walking meditation, and temple cleaning will all be carried out in silence. You will enter the Temple in silence and you will leave in silence, creating the opportunity to return to your day in silence.
