Cultivating a Wise Heart

A Residential Retreat

Annie Nugent

Mercy Conference and Retreat Center – St. Louis, MO

March. 6-11, 2025


Life presents us with the challenge of living from a place of wisdom
and therefore true happiness, rather than from delusion and its
corresponding suffering. Insight meditation leads us towards wisdom.
A deep understanding dawns, and we can live life with a wise and
loving heart. This retreat aims to strengthen this understanding,
enabling us to use everything in life as food for freedom.

See Annie’s article in the current Mid America Dharma Newsletter:  The Great Gift We Can Give to the World.

This retreat is appropriate for both those new to mindfulness practice and those with experience.


To assure everyone has a safe and wholesome retreat, we ask each retreatant to honor The Five Precepts throughout the retreat. Read more about The Five Precepts here.
