—the Buddha

This retreat celebrates the awakening of the Buddha and our own awakened nature! 

Join us as we commemorate a year of practice together and the end of our Autumn Ango Practice Period. Even if you haven’t been participating in ango or practicing with us this year, you are welcome to attend this day of retreat!

This is a day of silent meditation and mindfulness at Spring Hollow Lodge in Sharon Woods Metro Park. We will explore the wonder of simply sitting, breathing, and attending to the present moment. The practice of meditation and mindfulness reveal the clarity and openness of our original nature, allowing us to come back to our basic wholeness.

The day will include silent seated meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, opportunities to walk in the woods and meditate outside, a dharma talk and dharma sharing at the end. Though the majority of the retreat will be in silent contemplation, there will be opportunities to meet with one of the teacher’s for practice check-ins and time at the end of the day to connect socially with other participants.

This is a donation-based event. A vegan lunch and snacks will be provided. Please RSVP to let us know how much food to prepare. And, if you can volunteer to contribute food! RSVP is encouraged but not mandatory. We will also send out more details to those attending as we get closer to the day of the event. To RSVP click the button at https://www.mudlotussangha.org/events-classes/bodhi-day-daylong-retreat-dec and fill out the short form. Part-time attendance is welcome.
