Silence and Celebration: A New Year’s Eve Meditation Retreat (and Party)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 5, 2009 -- If you have been meaning to meditate more this year — or to learn to meditate — it’s not too late! Everyone is welcome to join in this mini-retreat as we transition from the old year to the new. Come for the entire evening (or for any part of it) to meditate and celebrate with old friends and to make new ones. As a special “bonus”, we will practice the Sadhana of Mahamudra, a profound practice that undercuts ideas of spiritual materialism for students at all levels. It is also a excellent teaching on overcoming obstacles and degraded spiritual practices in our time.

Meditation instruction is available at all times during the program.

Registering for this event is of great benefit to the coordinators—especially if you plan to attend the celebration dinner portion of the evening. This can be indicated in the comment section of the registration page.

4-7 pm – Meditation Session*
7-9 pm – Celebratory Community Dinner ($10 donation appreciated)
9-10 pm – Sadhana of Mahamudra
Everyone welcome!
10 pm – 1 am – Meditation Session*

*Includes walking meditation. It is not necessary to stay for the entire session; you are free to come and go at any time.
