Join us for a daylong retreat
Henry Shukman will be offering a daylong retreat in Cambridge, MA, co-sponsored by the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy and Harvard Medical School.
A retreat like this can be an powerful and deep experience, offering an opportunity to deepen and boost your meditation practice, as you practice with others, live and in-person.
Connecting, comparing notes, building practice relationships and receiving the power of community as we sit together — these are all foundational building blocks of a wholesome path of practice.
Explorations from the heart
The day will include guided meditations, wisdom teachings from traditional and contemporary sources, as well as poetry. There will also be periods of shared silence and stillness.
During dicussion times attendees will be able to interact with one another about their practice, and in the extended Q&A periods with Henry, students can ask questions directly, and hear responses to what others have on their minds and hearts.
This gathering is intended to touch on themes central to a wholesome, ongoing path of meditation practice.
