All Day Mindfulness Meditation Retreat
On Meditative Movement
Led by the Rev. Allen Wells and the MUUF Buddhist Sangha
An opportunity for beginners to learn insight meditation in a supportive setting and for experienced meditators to deepen their practice. We will explore five forms of meditation: concentration (shamatha), spacious awareness (vipassana), open awareness (shikantaa), and loving-kindness (metta), with a special focus upon Meditative Movement. There will be a dharma talk on “Change” and an opportunity for Q and A.
The entire retreat will be held in Noble Silence, including lunch. Kindly leave your cell phone at the door. Please bring your own lunch. Tea will be provided. Please also bring a sturdy cushion if you would like to sit on a zafu (we have some extras). Sitting in a chair is also just fine.
Allen teaches at MUUF’s Buddhist Meditation Group and at the Buddhist Sangha of The Unitarian Society of East Brunswick.
Allen has been practicing insight meditation for 35 years. He is a graduate of the Integrated Study/Practice Program of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and a UU minister. He has also followed in pilgrimage the footsteps of The Buddha throughout northern India.
There is no fee for this retreat but there will be an opportunity for dana (generous offering) at the closing.
If you wish to only a half day, you are very welcome to do so for the morning.
Pre-registration is requested by June 22.
