With the practice of mindfulness as the base, we shall learn to practice deep listening and loving speech to nourish true harmony within our families. During this retreat, we shall learn to practice together as an extended family and to support each other at home, in the workplace and at school. At times, adults and children will practice together and at other times, they will practice separately. It is a precious chance for the whole family to be in a practice setting and learn new ways of being with one another. We encourage both parents to join all five days of the retreat with their children. Single parents, singles and couples are welcome.
Campers bring their own tents and tent accessories and camp under trees or in the open. They have access to showers and bathrooms.
Commuters arrange their own accommodations off site and travel to the monastery each day.
