Nyinthün Meditation Retreat: Working with Hope and Fear in Times of Uncertainty (In Person)

A nyinthün is a full- or part-day meditation retreat where we can take the time to be with ourselves and extend our meditation practice. The nyinthün offers time to more fully immerse ourselves in the practice of mindfulness and to do so in a shared atmosphere of support. This half-day retreat will include group meditation instruction and opportunities to practice sitting and walking meditation.

The special theme of our October nyinthün will be working with hope and fear in times of uncertainty.  As the U.S. election approaches and as crises of all kinds unfold throughout the world, intense emotions of fear, anxiety and foreboding about the future arise for many of us. During this retreat, we will have the chance to explore ways in which meditation practice and the Shambhala/Buddhist teachings can inform how we work with uncertainty in these fraught times.

Participants are welcome to stay after the program formally ends to socialize and to get more acquainted with our community. Help with clean-up is also appreciated!

As an in-person event, we ask that participants only attend if they are experiencing no COVID, flu, or cold-like symptoms the morning of the retreat; face masks are optional. Please note that we will *not* be offering this program online; it is live only.

This program is open to meditators of all experience levels, from beginners to long-time practitioners. Individual interviews with a Meditation Instructor will be available.
