Connecting Mind and Heart

An Online Retreat with
James Baraz

Friday, January 17 – Sunday, January 19, 2025

Registration open, closes January 13, 2025

Retreat Description 

The Mind and the Heart are not separate. We’ll take this weekend of silence to explore and put into practice skillful means and teachings to let go of unproductive habits of mind. We can then experience insights that heal, uplift and ultimately free us. This results in a clear, quiet mind and a relaxed open heart. This online retreat will consist of periods of silent sitting and walking practice, meditation instructions and dharma talks.
