Retreat: Mindfulness Meditation with Joyful Effort

Every action we take – eating, drinking, walking, talking – can be done with mindfulness. In this one-day retreat with Geshe Gelek we will practice serious mindfulness with joyful effort!

The retreat will be held at Noland's farm, a member's lovely home and facility in Alamance County. The day will be spent in mindfulness meditation, with a beautiful and peaceful environment to nurture our ability to be mindful in the moment.

We will bring our own lunches and picnic on the lawns, weather permitting.

The basic schedule for the day will be:
   9 to 9:30 a.m. – Arrival, check in, settle into the gompa
   9:30 a.m. –  Retreat orientation and logistics
   10 a.m. – First session
   Noon  –  Lunch (only meal for the retreat)
   1:30p.m.  - Second session
   3 p.m.  – Third session
   5-5:30 p.m.  – Retreat ends, followed by karma yoga cleanup
