Calm Abiding & Insight: A Weekend Retreat

Trisha Stotler, Jeff Rosenberg and Jon Waterman

Join us for this immersive silent weekend retreat, where we'll develop the qualities of calm abiding - a focused, stable, and peaceful mind - that is the fertile soil for the natural arising of Insight. These practices form the foundation of our Insight meditation tradition. We welcome the opportunity to come together in community this weekend to reaffirm our aspiration to cultivate inner peace and wisdom, which are the only places of true stability among the unpredictable storms of life.

This retreat is appropriate for all levels, as guidance will be offered in sitting and walking meditation. There will be two dharma talks and plenty of space for silent practice, both together in the meditation hall and during meals, and while enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings.

You are invited to stay at Seven Oaks after the retreat ends if you would like to attend the Retreat Center Open House event, which will begin at 2:00 on Sunday.
