In Person: Calm Abiding: A Retreat for Cultivating a Concentrated Mind


  • Big Bear Retreat Center 1100 Sugarpine Road Big Bear, CA, 92314 United States (map)

We are looking forward to practicing an in-person retreat in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains. With the support of nature and a friendly, peaceful quiet we will care for the heart and mind with compassionate mindfulness. 

Guidance will be given for gathering awareness, relaxing the body, opening the heart, and calming the mind. 

The structure of our meditation retreat will include time for sitting and walking or movement meditation, rest, mindful eating, and Dharma talks along with instruction and guidance, time for questions and reflections, short practice discussion meetings with the teachers to support you within the container of a silent retreat.

Retreat practice helps us to deepen our appreciation and gratitude for the mystery of being alive and for the benefits of generosity and kindness to ourselves and others.
