	RETREAT INFORMATION - 2010
April 21-25	Waterloo Riverview Dharma Centre Residential Retreat Retreat is an integral part of Buddhist meditation practice, providing the conditions for deepening one’s practice and understanding. In this 4-day retreat, we will cultivate the qualities of mind and heart that enable us to be present, and at ease, with life as it unfolds in each moment of our experience. We will engage in meditation practices to quiet the mind, and investigate the mind-body process with mindful awareness-cultivating an inner stillness, an open heart, and an opening to the mystery of life and the wonder of ‘being.’ Teacher: Susan Child Location: Mount Mary Retreat Centre, Ancaster, ON Cost: $375 before Feb. 15, 2010; $425 after Feb. 15, 2010 Click here to veiw Retreat Flyer Click here for a Retreat Registration Form Note: The retreat is full, but we are still accepting registrations for a waiting list.
April 12-18	Mindfulness Meditation Retreat led by Shinzen Young This is a non-sectarian, non-denominational practice that develops concentration, insight and compassion. Mindfulness meditation (Vipassana) increases one's moment-by-moment awareness of the ordinary mind-body process. As this awareness is cultivated, blockages and limiting forces become conscious, are observed with detachment and are released. Everyone can develop skill in this simple technique, and it is a practice that can create profound changes in how we live. Shinzen Young is a Westerner who has trained extensively in Asian monasteries. He was ordained as a Buddhist Monk at Mt. Koya, Japan. He lectures and leads retreats across the United States and Canada. His deep understanding of both Eastern philosophy and Western science makes his teaching of Vipassana unique and easily accessible to the Western mind. Location: Mary and Joseph Retreat Centre, Rancho Palos Verdes, California For cost and registration information, email Vipassina Support International or call toll free at 1-866-666-0874.
