Day-long Insight Meditation Retreat
Pacific Northwest Meditation Center warmly invites you join us on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2026, when the venerable Ajahn Tejassi will guide us on the path of mindfulness and liberation with a day-long meditation retreat..
“The Buddha said that the four foundations of mindfulness is the straight path, the direct path to awakening and liberation,” Tejassi explained. “Together, we will be viscerally exploring how the proper implementation of the four foundations of mindfulness directly untangles one's being, little by little leads to the resolution of suffering, and bit by bit awakens one out from the clouds of mental proliferation.
“Let us tune in together to feel deeper into that state of abiding in Satipaṭṭhāna,” he said.
Our retreats include periods of:
Sitting and walking meditation.
Mindful eating.
Breath work.
Participants are invited to bring their own meals. Microwaves are available.
Time: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
In-person location: Portland’s Loyola Jesuit Center, a serene six-acre campus at 3220 SE 43rd Ave, Portland, OR 97206
In-person fee: $75 Contributor; $45 Sustainer; $25 Subsidized
Virtual fee: $25
All experience levels are welcome.
ABOUT THE TEACHER:
Ajahn Tejassī has been a monastic for 10 years, starting with a six-year apprenticeship in the Ajahn Chah tradition. Moving forward to join a heart-centered monastic community, he spent four years under the close guidance of his spiritual teacher in this life.
Here he received extensive training both for his own spiritual purification and also as a guide to support others' paths (roughly 800-plus hours for individual guidance work, 200-plus hours leading group sessions, and co-led six two-week retreats.)
After receiving encouragements and blessings from his Teacher and community, Venerable Tejassī came back to the United States to develop a spiritual community.
Today, he serves as the spiritual guide of Heart-Path and is the co-founder of La Gracia Retreat Center.
