Southern Dharma Intensive Retreat

Returning to the land at Southern Dharma, we continue the tradition of Buddhism and the Twelve Step retreats. This year I’ll be joined by Greg Pergament teaching Qi Gong. Registration opens July 1.

The retreat is conducted in Noble Silence, though there are several interactive events where we connect with each other. These include a daily 12-Step style meeting, workshops, Q&A, and small group meetings with the teacher.

The daily schedule is built around periods of sitting and walking meditation. Each day there will be guided instruction in both mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation, as well as sessions of gentle Qi Gong, which help with calming and developing mindfulness of the body.
