Half Dathun 1
Acharya Daniel Hessey and Shastri Janet Solyntjes
December 15–29, 2018
Please note: Shastri Janet Solyntjes will be co-teaching Weeks 1-2 only
Dathun, Tibetan for “moon session,” is an intensive group meditation retreat for new and experienced meditators interested in deepening their mindfulness-awareness. Composed of four week-long segments called “Weekthuns,” this month-long retreat allows participants to attend 1, 2, 3, or 4 full weeks.
In this immersive experience, mindfulness practice goes beyond the meditation hall, with every aspect of daily life becoming a practice of wakefulness and an opportunity to make better friends with ourselves and our world. Practices include: sitting meditation, walking meditation, daily chants, silence, contemplative silent meals, and light chores supporting the retreat.
If you have not attended a week or more of Dathun previously, please register for week I.
