The Insight Meditation Community of Colorado presents: Living Fully, Loving Well, a New Year’s retreat with David Chernikoff.
The primary focus of this retreat will be the practice of sitting and walking meditation while keeping silence. There will be meditation instruction, dharma talks, mindful movement practices, and opportunities for discussion. Using guided experiential exercises, we’ll review the year that is ending and reflect upon what we’ve learned. At the end of the retreat, we’ll set our intentions for the year to come and prepare to set them in motion on January 1st.
