This retreat introduces an array of concentration exercises to mindfulness meditators wanting improved energy and focus in their practice. This one-day event will be held at Green Gulch Farm – a picturesque retreat center in Marin County that connects to Muir Beach by a 1.2-mile walking path.

 

Retreat day information

The retreat features warm-hearted instruction in “one-pointed” concentration practices – including a focus on mantra, imagery, candle flame and music – interspersed with periods of walking meditation, mindfulness yoga, personal reflection, and small and large group discussion.

One-pointed concentration is the art of paying attention, in a compassionate way, with strong, energetic focus on one single item. Concentration practice helps the meditator build and sustain energy and focus, but importantly also leads to the establishment of “calm abiding”  – a state of stability and peace that includes both relaxation and vitality.

There will be ample time for personal rest and renewal on the extensive Green Gulch grounds and nearby Muir Beach. Green Gulch is an active meditation community that regularly opens its doors to the public.
