Silent Day-long Meditation Practice
9 AM - 4 PM
Saturday, June 3rd*
Sunday, July 16th
On these Dharma Days, we practice Vipassana, (a form of Theravadan Buddhist meditation), alternating sitting and walking, throughout the day. The sitting periods are 30 - 40 minutes, generally, and walking periods are 30 minutes.
Dharma Day includes complete meditation instructions, a cupful of Buddhist philosophy (dharma talk), and a question and answer period. Beginners are welcome, along with our usual sangha.
Lunch is potluck - Wattle Hollow provides brown rice and peppermint tea.
No charge for Dharma Day. All are welcome, but pre-registration is appreciated.
* We switched Dharma Day to Saturday in June to coincide with the national “Change Your Mind Day” which Tricycle Magazine has sponsored, for years.
