Winter Weekthün III
December 28, 2019–January 5, 2020
Buddhist Meditation Retreats, Dathun & Weekthun, Immersive Meditation Retreats, Meditation & Mindfulness, Scholarship Available Programs
Please join us in the pristine stillness of winter in the Rocky Mountains for a week or month of meditation. The support of a group retreat, surrounded by natural beauty and far from the clamor of our busy lives, is an important way to deepen in the practice of meditation. It provides the ideal conditions to settle the mind and open the heart.
In this immersive experience, mindfulness and awareness go beyond the meditation hall, with every aspect of daily life becoming an opportunity to wake up and attune to the world around us. While our days are mainly spent in meditation, our daily schedule also includes a guided meditation and talks, movement exercises, periods of silence, contemplative meals, and light chores supporting the retreat.
