# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Boundless Heart Silent Meditation Retreat (October 29 - November 1, 2026) - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Sun, 01 Nov, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Enjoy a full weekend of quiet contemplation. At the root of compassion is not something we need to create, but something we begin to uncover as the mind settles and perception becomes clearer. Often, it is our habitual ways of relating—to ourselves, to others, and to difficulty—that shape how open or closed the heart feels. This retreat brings attention to these patterns, not as ideas to analyze, but as lived experiences to recognize directly. Through this seeing, we begin to notice where we resist, where we hold on, and where there may be space to relate with more care. Grounded in a traditional Theravada retreat structure of silence, simplicity, and alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation, the retreat also draws from the Mahayana tradition of mind training. Through gentle practices of receiving and releasing (tonglen), we explore ways of meeting experience with greater openness and inclusion. As awareness deepens, we learn not to turn away from difficulty, but to include it. In that inclusion, the sense of separation between self and other can begin to soften, and compassion may emerge more naturally—not as something imposed, but as a responsive quality of the heart. This retreat offers a quiet and supportive environment for cultivating both clarity and care, and for discovering a way of being that is grounded, responsive, and connected to life as it is. All are welcome. No previous retreat experience required.
