Insight Meditation Winter Solstice Retreat:
Embracing the Dark, Inviting the Light

with Heather Sundberg, John Travis and Carol Cano (assistant)

In this retreat, we will emphasize centering ourselves at the time of the holidays and the New Year, quieting our minds, grounding in our bodies, opening up our hearts, and using inquiry to help give energy to our practice. There will be a special emphasis on opening to the darkness, including to our difficulties and challenges, as well as to the coming light -- to our beauty, joy, wisdom, and love. The retreat will include complete meditation instructions, sitting and walking meditation, daily loving kindness practice, daily Qigong practice, evening talks, practice discussions, and a Winter Solstice ceremony.

Dates: Monday, December 16, 3:00pm – Monday, December 23, 11:30am
