Item Description
Attend the one-week Essential Dharma retreat May 24 to 31, 2010, at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and experience the world "in two directions: inward and outward."
The Essential Dharma retreat led by Spirit Rock teachers Anna Douglas, Mark Coleman and Howard Cohn is meant to provide an in-depth understanding of the core Buddhist teachings and meditation practices as taught within the Insight Meditation tradition. It is also useful for students with meditation experience wishing to refresh their knowledge of key Buddhist teachings.
Spirit Rock Meditation Center began in 1982 when a small group of sitters in Northern California met to create a west coast retreat center. In 1987, this dedicated group purchased 412 acres in rural Marin County from the Nature Conservancy. The residential retreat center opened in 1998 and currently hosts about 40 retreats per year of varying lengths, from three nights to two months. Its purpose is "to help each individual find peace, compassion and wisdom through the practice of mindfulness and Insight Meditation (Vipassana), and to support the individual in taking those qualities into the world."
Item Special Note
