Schedule and Details

March 5 Daylong Retreat - Lamont Dharma House

1719 Lamont St NW

 

- We will observe the age old tradition of "noble silence" from 10:00 am until 5:30 pm, so prepare yourself to relish in the spaciousness of quietude!

- Please bring your own cushion, mat, bench, blankets, etc for sitting if you would like… we have a limited number to share.

- There will be an hour and a half lunch break, during which we will also hold silence.  We suggest you bring your own lunch.

 

   - No problem if you can only make it for a portion of the day. However, to maintain a solid container for the practice, we ask folks to commit to at least the full morning (before lunch) or full afternoon (after lunch) period.

- The day will begin with a brief set of instructions for those who are new to meditation, and there will be a second brief instruction after lunch.
