Weekend Schedule

Friday

Friday May 2nd-
Arrive & Socialize

  • We will have an outdoor fire pit with marshmallows on Friday night.

  • No wine/beer pls, this is a sober retreat.

  • It’s optional to get a room at the Inn. You can also stay elsewhere and commute.

  • Travel Logistics:
    -There is a commuter train from Boston nearby, so you don’t need a car.
    -But if you do want to drive, there’s plenty of parking at the Inn.
    -The Inn is a 60min drive away from Boston, so some folks will arrive just for Saturday morning.

When gathering together for meditation, it’s useful to have an initial signal
to hone in on.

A meditation practice starts with a bell.
Our studio of practice starts with the radio station.

And then, the process of deepening mindfulness practice is a quieting process that
eventually leads to a healing silence.

Join us in a retreat.
