Retreats

How can we stay calm and find peace? This is possible by systematically and calmly observing what is going on and learning not to immediately want to change things. What remains is the experience of an inner knowing without words.

The summer retreat consists of two parts. Part 1 and Part 2. These two retreats can be followed as one retreat. In that case, please register for both retreats.

The language of instruction is Dutch. For those who are not proficient in this language, the instructions and dhamma talks can be translated into English.

During this retreat the focus is on the cultivation of relaxed open awareness. Open and relaxed awareness can help us to cultivate a broad and skillful understanding of our moment-to-moment experience. Participants will be encouraged to allow experience to be known in a simple way as it naturally unfolds. This integrated approach to practice is inspired by the teaching style of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya.

Join us for a silent meditation retreat in the Rocky Mountains, where the beauty of autumn and nature offer a peaceful setting for deepening mindfulness and renewal. The retreat will alternate between sitting and walking meditation, with time spent outdoors and in the warmth of the lodge, fostering connection with nature and introspection. Ideal for those with some meditation experience, this retreat offers a balance of guided practice, dharma talks, and personal reflection to support inner peace and growth.
