Five-Day Residential Meditation Retreat
June 17 – June 20, 2020
“Practicing systematically, taking the time to go into deep practice and making it the number one priority, leads to a state where the mind is very still and malleable and can investigate.”
—Nikki Mirghafori
As the human race’s daily living pace continues to speed up and an increasing sense of insecurity and doubt arise in response to the complexities of modern life, many are turning to their spiritual lives for stability and support. So, how can you get the most out of your spiritual practice when the world appears to be falling apart? By digging deeper into your meditation practice.
Join Buddhist teacher Ronya Banks as she provides us with the tips and practices you can use to plumb the depths of your spiritual practice, especially during times that feel chaotic. Ronya will explore these topics:
- What is “depth of practice”?
- Buddhist teachings on deep practice
- Inquiries that support greater depth and wisdom
