We will practice mindfulness throughout our time together, helping us to come back to the present moment. When we arrive in the present moment, happiness and peace is available. Our joy and creativity is revealed and together we can be the change we hope to see in the world. We start to experience the world differently, more vibrantly, more real. We will also continue to discover how our habits of thinking, talking and acting make our world appear.

During this retreat we will practice mindfulness together as a community:

  • Getting to know our restless mind & befriending ourselves
  • Sitting, Walking & Eating Meditation
  • Working Together
  • Singing, Exercise, Hiking
  • Sharing & Listening
  • Silence & Nature
  • Discovering our Aspiration in Life

We will learn the arts of focusing, relaxing, being present, enjoying life and being happy together.

Where does my family end and yours begin? Mindfulness, joy and peace will bring us together and makes our lives more colorful and fragrant.

During this retreat, we shall learn to practice together as an extended family and to support each other at home, in the work place, and in school.

It is a precious chance for the whole family to be in a practice setting and learn new ways of being with one another. We encourage both parents to join the whole duration of the retreat with their children. No partial attendance.

There will be a program for children (6-12 yrs old) and teens (13-18 yrs) during part of the day. Monastic and lay staff will help lead the program and we will ask support from parents to assist the groups during the retreat.
