NBCO Winter Retreat

As the year comes to a close, we invite you to join us for a Winter Retreat, a time to slow down, reconnect, and settle into the warmth of community.

The Retreat is scheduled for Dec 27 – Dec 31.  Over the course of these 5 days, we’ll offer a mix of meditation practices.  You’re welcome to join us for the full retreat, or choose sessions that best fit your schedule. However you participate, it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with sangha members in a peaceful and supportive practice setting.

Here is the schedule of practices:

• 9:00 to 9:30 Lujong

• 9:30 to 10:50 Shamatha

• 11:00 to 12:00 Green Tara practice (either 21 Praises or short sadhana focused on mantra recitations)

• 12:00 to 1:00 Lunch (bring your own or plan on going out)

• 1:00 to 2:15 Contemplative Practice

• 2:30 to 4:00 Shamatha

We’ll have a social gathering on the last day, Dec 31, in the afternoon to celebrate the end of retreat and end of the year.

More information will be sent soon about an all-sangha Guru Yoga Feast practice on Tuesday, December 29.
