The Peace of Concentration: Guided Meditation Retreat

Do you ever think your mind is too distracted to meditate? (That's like saying I'm too sick to go to the hospital, by the way!) Meditation is the actual medicine to make our mind peaceful, calm, and healthy, but it's common to feel that our mind is too busy and negative for meditation to work.

During this brief morning retreat, Gen Zamling will guide simple and effective meditations that promote a peaceful positive state of mind that you can later practice anytime you wish. Each session will include helpful instruction, guided meditation, and time for questions.

We'll explore:

• How to build skill and confidence in meditation

• How to stop fighting distractions in meditation

• How to continue your meditation practice after the retreat

Everyone is welcome to this morning retreat with Gen Zamling, a Buddhist monk and meditation teacher who has many years experience guiding students of all levels in retreat. He is known for his warm-hearted, clear and practical guidance.

No previous experience is necessary, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
