2009 WORKSHOPS

LOVINGKINDNESS-EQUANIMTY
METTA-UPEKKHA MEDITATION RETREAT
November 12 - with departure November 21, 2009
co-sponsored by The Mountain Hermitage
Website: www.mountainhermitage.org

This retreat begins with the teachings and practice of Metta/LovingKindness, bringing a focus and steadiness to our heart and mind. As we open to a more accepting, expansive and loving heart, fearlessness and self-confidence are strengthened and our fundamental interconnectedness to all life is revealed. With Metta as our ground, the retreat will gradually take us towards the teachings and practice of Upekkha/Equanimity. This brings a clear-seeing acceptance and balance of mind, allowing us to relate to all that comes and goes within and around us with greater understanding and ease.

This eight day retreat will be held in Noble Silence and will include sitting and walking meditation with instructions, Dharma talks and group and individual meetings with the teacher. Both new an experienced students are welcome.

Fee: $390.00 - includes retreat costs, room and board (see Note below)

Note: This retreat will be offered on a ‘Dana’ basis. Buddhist teachings are traditionally offered as ‘Dana’,
which is a Buddhist term referring to the spirit of giving and generosity. The cost of this retreat does not
include any fee for the teacher. Marcia offers her services freely. There will be an opportunity at the end of
the retreat for participants to give to the teacher, from the heart, whatever feels appropriate.
