We invite you to join us for this in-person annual retreat at the Karma Triyana​Dharmachakra monastery in the delightful upstate New York Catskill Mountains. Michael Carroll, cofounder of The Wisdom Seat will be leading this 8-day practice intensive, supported by members of The Wisdom Seat staff.  This retreat is designed to help us deepen our mindfulness-awareness meditation and integrate it into our daily life.

The retreat will include:​

• 6 - 8 hours of daily shrine room meditation alternating sitting and walking during each session

• Breath and body relaxation practices

• Outdoor walking meditation

• Periodic group meditation instruction

• Readings from Buddhist texts

• Dharma talks and discussion

• Individual meditation instruction upon request

• An hour+ of helping hands

​

Participants will be asked to observe “functional silence” throughout most of the days of the retreat, limiting verbal communication to a minimum.

​

Meditation cushions and yoga props will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own meditation cushion and yoga props if travel permits.

Vegetarian breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be offered, with access to snacks, coffee, and tea throughout the retreat.  

Since the retreat will be limited to 30 participants, those attending will be expected to participate in all 8 days of the retreat.  

Local Commuters may participate 8 days or less.
