SUMMARY:Concentration and Insight Retreat in Northern\, CA with Shaila Catherine and Ann Dillon
DESCRIPTION:Registration Has Closed. \nImportant Note: This retreat was previously scheduled to take place at Angela Center in Santa Rosa\, but will now take place at Saratoga Springs Retreat Center in Upper Lake\, CA (near Ukiah). We are confident that this site will offer tranquil and conducive conditions for our program. Updated registration information for our retreat at Saratoga Springs is below. If you are interested in attending this retreat\, please follow the registration instructions below or email the registrar with any questions: retreats . \nAn Intensive Concentration and Insight Retreat\nwith Shaila Catherine and Ann Dillon\nApril 3-13\, 2018 \nTuesday\, April 3\, 2018 – Friday\, April 13\, 2018. \nThe retreat begins with registration at 2:00 pm on April 3; it ends at 11:00 am on April 13. Early arrivals can be arranged for Monday April 2 anytime after 2pm. \nPartial attendance can be arranged\, but it must begin on the first day of the retreat\, and priority will be given to those attending the full retreat. \nThe teachings on this retreat will be structured to support the development of concentration\, mindfulness\, and insight. The daily group instruction sessions will introduce mindfulness with breathing as a concentration practice\, and will systematically develop the skills that lead to the deep absorption states of jhana. This retreat is an ideal opportunity to train in concentration and jhana practices with personal guidance from Shaila Catherine. It is the one retreat each year that Shaila emphasizes concentration and jhana\, and systematically guides students through this powerful training method. Students who wish to embark on this training in concentration and jhana should read her book\, Focused and Fearless\, prior to the retreat. Click on our Concentration and Jhana FAQ page for more information about developing concentration and the absorption states of jhana. \nJhana instructions will be offered\, but this retreat is not limited to the training in concentration and jhana; students who want to practice mindfulness or metta without an emphasis on concentration are most welcome. Teachings will explore a range of subjects to support the growth of wisdom and cultivate conditions conducive for insight. \nThe approach to teaching is flexible enough to nurture a broad development of practices that are appropriate to the individual meditator. Guided by group and individual meetings with the teachers\, students may work with a variety of meditative approaches to progress in a manner and pace appropriate to their individual needs. Students who are not inclined toward concentration or jhana may choose to emphasize mindfulness\, insight\, and loving kindness practices. As the retreat progresses\, some students may practice mindfulness of the body to enhance calm and presence; some students may intensify concentration to unify consciousness through the deep absorptions called jhana; some students may cultivate loving kindness and open the heart to the precious fragility of life; and other students may nurture insight into the functioning of perception and the nature of mind. \nThis silent retreat is structured with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation\, dhamma teachings\, question and answer sessions\, and teacher consultations. \nRegister early! Space is limited.\nWe keep this retreat small (approximately 36 participants and 2 teachers) to enable in-depth one-to-one guidance. It is a powerful and intimate environment for deep meditation practice—very suitable for dedicated practitioners and an ideal introduction to jhana practices. \nTO REGISTER: Download and complete the SS2018 registration and waiver forms\, enclose a non-refundable deposit of $250 (payable to Bodhi-Retreats)\, and return via email and/or postal mail to the address below. We are not currently able to accept credit card transactions\, so please send your registration deposit and fees via check or money order.
