Saturday Shamatha Retreat

August 13, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm

Practicing Mindfulness Meditation is an eye-opener for many of us; after learning how to practice basic quiet sitting meditation (called Shamatha in Sanskrit), we discover our unseen thoughts and motivations and feel inspired to make changes in our lives.This one-day retreat will give us a chance to focus on Dharma practice and deepen our connection to the basic sanity and goodness of sitting meditation.

KTC Senior Meditation Instructor Eric Weinberg will lead meditation sessions, and Lama Tom Broadwater will be available for meditation instruction interviews, to help participants make a strong connection with their practice.

The program will be offered both in-person at the KTC and via Zoom to our at-home Zoom audience and distance sangha.

Those attending in person should bring a sack lunch. Water, coffee and tea will be provided.

To promote a mindful atmosphere, Functional Talking (for necessary things) will be observed.
