Breaking Free from Craving: Silent Meditation Retreat

Captivated by craving and desire, it's easy to become preoccupied with the pursuit of happiness by escaping into digital distractions and frequently changing our job, partner, home, vacation destination, and so on. But we will never know real satisfaction and happiness until we change our restless, discontented mind.

During this retreat, learn how to experience the inner treasure of contentment, free from craving and restlessness. Discover the limitless potential of your mind to be peaceful, satisfied and deeply happy!

Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments.
