Join us for a day long nourishing retreat sponsored by the Buddhist Sangha of Bucks County - practice with an ordained Buddhist teacher.

Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat offers a gentle yet powerful way to deepen your practice. We will be guided by Padmadharini, a respected teacher of Buddhism in the Triratna tradition. This event is perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice. See you there!

Theme of the retreat:

In this day retreat we will explore the theme of containment. At times our experience can feel too much: emotion, uncertainty, or struggle may feel overwhelming or unmanageable. Practice invites a different movement — not towards controlling experience, but towards discovering a deeper holding.

Together we will explore the relationship between relative containment — the capacity to ground, regulate, and care for experience — and the wider container of awareness, within which experience is already held. From this perspective, even difficulty can be met within a field of compassion and love.

Through meditation, embodied awareness, and reflection, the day will explore how a sense of inner safety and openness allows experience to unfold without contraction, revealing a more spacious and responsive way of being.

This retreat is suitable for those with an established meditation practice who wish to deepen their exploration of experience and awareness.
