Wild Heart Spring Retreat
with Andrew Chapman, LMSW and Rev. Mikey Noechel, MS
May 24 - 31, 2021
In retreat, through careful and sustained mindfulness, we experience for ourselves the ever-changing flow of the mind-body process. Meditation is the vehicle through which we develop the clarity and compassion needed to accept more fully the pleasure and pain, fear and joy, sadness and happiness that life inevitably brings. As insight deepens, we develop greater peace in the face of change—we develop a capacity to meet each arising and passing moment with a deep curiosity, compassion, and wisdom.
This retreat will be held in noble silence, with designated times for group interviews to support your practice. There will be daily periods of meditation instructions, Dharma talks, mindful movement, as well as silent sitting and walking meditation.
This course is suitable for both beginning and experienced meditators.
