Deepening Into Stillness 2025

The theme of this year's Deepening Into Stillness retreat is: 
'How to stay connected in an increasingly disconnected and impersonal world.'

In today’s fast-paced, digital-driven world, despite being constantly "connected" online, many of us can feel more isolated than ever. It’s time to step away from the noise and rediscover the power of silence and real human connection.

The teachers Alan Bassal and Kate Amy will draw upon the teachings of the Buddha and contemporary wisdom to explore ways that we can cultivate meaningful relationships with ourselves, keep our hearts open, and engage with others in mindful deep connection.

This 6-day meditation retreat blends the practices of Insight Meditation, Buddhist principles on mindfulness, compassion and awareness to help you rediscover genuine connection. With guidance from the teachers, we will explore the ways mindfulness can enhance your relationships and inner peace in the fast-paced, fragmented world we live in.

The retreat program will consist of daily guided meditation instructions, walking meditation, individual meetings with teachers, open dharma inquiry sessions, inquiry exercises, and evening Dharma talks.
Yoga in the morning, we will be offering five Mindful Movement sessions providing opportunities to embody the theme of the retreat, supporting dancing with life and rediscovering your vitality and the pleasure of living
