On the day:
- Please be seated in the meditation hall at least 5 minutes before the session. Comfortable clothing is recommended. Dressing in layers is also a good idea.
- Refreshments will be available
- The purpose of this retreat is ‘no purpose’. This means an opportunity for you to discover what is right for you. You will, slowly and with the support of the group, practice finding your way both for the retreat and for your personal healing and growth.
- Practicing silence and the spiritual principles of the ‘five mindfulness trainings’ and 'Love, acceptance, honesty, patience, humility, willingness, self-discipline, and service' will be observed for the whole retreat.
- Cultivating loving kindness, generosity and consideration...
- Openness… allowing your body and mind to relax and your heart to open.
- Noble silence might be practiced during the retreat and we will learn to leave old ways and thinking behind.
