Right Speech

Right Speech

In this retreat, Vishvapani shows us how to engage in Right Speech by asking ourselves before we speak: Is it truthful? Is it effective? Is it beneficial? Is it kind? Speech, Vishvapani tells us, is a central part of being human—it's what connects us to the people we surround ourselves with. When practiced wisely, Right Speech can have powerful and transforming effects and allow us to express true wisdom and compassion.

What is Mindfulness?

What is Mindfulness?

This retreat involves both talks and practice. In the talks Shinzen will elucidate how mindfulness is defined from numerous points of view.

You'll be guided in Breath Focus from an advanced perspective, exploring how this practice develops four aspects of mindful awareness: concentration power, sensory clarity, equanimity, and insight.
