When we first take up mindfulness meditation, it can seem as if our bodies and minds are crammed full of an infinite variety of swirling experiences. The Buddha offered many teachings to help us make sense of everything going on within us. So, what is really happening in there? 

Join us as we take a deep dive into the different strands of our experience through the lens of the Buddha’s teaching on the six sense bases. Through guided meditations, short talks and discussion, we will explore how to see what is happening more and more clearly, and how that can help lead us toward greater understanding and freedom.


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.
