Mindfulness Meditation Retreat for Therapists – 5 Days
Event Full
Schedule
This retreat integrates the ethical principles of traditional Buddhist retreats. For example, to enhance your personal gain in this course, the silence of speech, body and mind (i.e., “Noble Silence”) must be kept at all times between 9:00 pm and 8:30 am, as well as during all rest, meal and break periods (except for dinner on the first day and lunch on the last day). You are welcome to speak to the teacher about private matters during breaks. During communication periods, participants abstain from using offensive or misleading speech and (Buddhist) “right speech” is cultivated.
