Daylong Insight Meditation Retreat
Turning toward impermanence in our ordinary and difficult experiences connects us to the truth of how things really are. In this retreat, we will cultivate resolve for the impermanence that has already touched our lives while preparing for the inevitable change, aging, and loss inherent to being human. Practicing with full awareness, we learn to remain unshaken, allowing this wisdom to awaken us again and again. Mindfulness offers a path to encounter the teaching that all conditioned phenomena are subject to change—without pushing away or grasping at what is to come. Through moment-to-moment contemplation, we learn to rest within uncertainty and the unknown.
Trina Truong will lead this daylong retreat in the Insight Meditation tradition. We will practice contemplating impermanence, bringing awareness to what arises in meditation, in movement, during mindful eating, mindful walking, standing and lying down. Trina will guide retreatants on how to give attention to what will awaken us to how things really are, cultivating equanimity and inner stillness leading to transformation, healing and insights.
