This non-residential online weekend retreat will emphasize a gentle continuity of mindfulness in daily life. Through continuous mindful awareness accompanied by discernment, we can come to understand more clearly the causes that lead to wellbeing, and those that lead to distress. This practice period will also emphasize the inter-related practices of ethical conduct, stability of awareness, and the development of wisdom.
