A Residential Retreat
with Devin Berry and Tara Mulay
Conception Abbey Conception, MO 64433
June 27- July 2, 2024
Registration is open; closes June 8, 2024.
Retreat Description:
During this retreat, we will explore qualities of attention that refine our mindfulness practice and provide the ground for insight into the truth of the way things are.
Inclining our minds towards a deeply restful space and allowing attention to the breath opens us to joy and ease. Clear perception of moment-to-moment experience unclouds our attention. Letting go of a mistaken sense of ownership of passing experience deepens our understanding of the truth. These capacities of mind are available to all of us, and they are the seeds of awakening.
The Buddha said: “When mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it is of great fruit and great benefit. When mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it fulfills the four foundations of mindfulness. When the four foundations of mindfulness are developed and cultivated, they fulfill the seven factors of enlightenment. When the seven enlightenment factors are developed and cultivated, they fulfill true knowledge and liberation.”
This retreat will include dharma reflections, mindfulness meditation instructions for both sitting and walking, loving-kindness practice, and time for questions.
This retreat is appropriate for both those new to mindfulness practice and those with experience.
