RETREAT INFORMATION - 2020


ONLINE RETREAT
Nov. 15-22, 2020


Due to Covid-19 conditions, our annual fall retreat has been modified from residential to on-line, to allow for participation from your home.  There will be a daily retreat schedule to follow, and an on-line meditation and Dharma talk every evening, which will be offered through Skype. The retreat will allow for full or part-time participation, so that you will be able to weave it into home life, accommodating various daily activities including work, childcare, family life, etc. The retreat format will provide a good opportunity for retreat, as well as integrating the practice of mindfulness into everyday life.
Participants will need to work out beforehand with their home/daily life situations how they are able to participate, i.e. following the daily schedule fully for the duration of the retreat, or for a few days, or partial days such as for morning meditations and evening meditations and Dharma talks, or whatever works best.
The retreat will be held from Sunday, November 15 (7 p.m.) to Sunday, November 22 (noon). We will be entering into the spirit of retreat and practice for the week together, with clear intention and commitment to practice, to follow the schedule as we are able to, while also accommodating the needs of home life and daily activities, using those activities as an opportunity to cultivate mindfulness, presence throughout the week in whatever we are doing. 

Registration cost is $125 (payable by e-transfer to info@wrdharmacentre.com), plus teacher dana. Email the Dharma Centre to register or for further information.
