BROOKLYN SANGHA DAYLONG RETREAT
A retreat day is a time for inner reflection that can foster a greater openness and clarity of mind and heart. It will be a day primarily of noble silence with sharing as a community at the end of the retreat. This day will include sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, discussion and the opportunity for an individual meeting with a
teacher.
Plan to offer yourself the gift of deepening practice with the guidance and support of teachers Charmaine Henderson and Joshua Bee Alafia in the company of like-minded “spiritual friends,” known and unknown. Taking time out in this way from our very full lives nurtures our capacity for and expression of wisdom and compassion in our lives.
