This is a gentle reminder of the upcoming DDM One Day Retreat which will be taking place at our 154 Poyntz Avenue Centre on Saturday, March 12, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.
This form of practice is very beneficial for everyone; it gives us the chance to practice with a group over a longer period of time. Furthermore, the One Day Retreat is an excellent opportunity for deepening one's practice. Participants for the One Day Retreat should ideally have practiced meditation for a considerable length of time, preferably with some formal meditation training.
Sitting meditation periods are followed by walking meditation, gentle stretching exercises and mindful work periods. The environment of the retreat is designed to promote mindfulness in everything we do.
To receive the full benefits of this form of group practice, we encourage you attend the entire event.
Also, be sure to wear loose, warm and comfortable clothing suited to the long sitting periods. DDM provides cushions, sitting mats, towels and a light vegetarian lunch. While a conducive and relax atmosphere is maintained in the retreat, participants should understand that it is still a serious occasion dedicated for practice. In the interest of respecting your own and others’practice, please provide advance notice should you be arriving to the retreat late or leaving early without valid reasons.
In the spirit of sharing with the community of Chan practitioners, participants of this retreat are also encouraged to contribute a vegetarian dish or snack for the retreat lunch.Please note that dishes contributed should not contain any form of onions (including green onions), any form of garlics, chimes as well as egg products. If you would like to submit a dish, please send an email to meditation.dharmadrum@gmail.com, no later than Thursday, March 10.
Kindly RSVP meditation.dharmadrum@gmail.com by March 10 should you plan to attend the retreat and, if you plan to bring a dish, inform us about the dish that you would bring.
The event is offered free of charge while any donations to support events like this are greatly appreciated.
