Half-Day Retreat in Silence

Ekoji 3411 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA, United States

During this Half-Day Retreat we will be practicing sitting and walking meditation, there will be a Dharma reflection and some time for questions and sharing. During the retreat we will be in “noble silence.” This means that we won’t be talking to each other (except during designated times). We will also turn off our phones and other devices. This is all in order to minimize external distractions, promote mindfulness and inner stillness, and respect the practice of fellow meditators. After the Half-Day Retreat there is an optional social gathering from 4:30 – 5:15 PM, some snacks are provided.

Daylong Retreat: Dependent Arising

During this Daylong Retreat we will be exploring the Buddha's teachings on Dependent Arising. A central concept in Buddhism that reveals the intricate web of interconnectedness in our lives. All phenomena arise in dependence on causes and conditions, and understanding this can lead to deeper insights into the nature of existence. Throughout the day, we will engage in meditation, reflection, and discussion to uncover the layers of this teaching.
