Why not set aside a Saturday to do nothing but practice being awake?

The Buddha taught that when one cultivates mindfulness, all other wholesome mental factors blossom too.

Come join us in a day of mindfulness that will be rooted deeply in the Buddha's teachings from the Satipatthana Sutta, I will give a couple of dharma talks drawn from these elegant mindfulness teachings.

​In 1974 I was on my first extended retreat of two months.  Part way through that retreat I had an experience of extreme doubt and confusion. My teacher gave me a copy of The Power of Mindfulness and told me to spend the afternoon reading.  That little book was like the ultimate life jacket. It made sense of meditation practice and has been a foundation of my practice ever since.

Please read this short book before the retreat.

This will be a day of silence punctuated by dharma talks and opportunities to ask questions. ​
