Please consider your personal schedule before registering for this retreat. In an effort to hold a space of community, we ask that each participant be fully present for the entire retreat. This includes full participation in both days of meditation and dharma talks, as well as being mindful and present at each of the four meals held in Noble Silence. All meals will be provided and covered in the cost of the retreat.
