2015_JeremyBoulder_700x200

A Boulder Weekend with Dharma Ocean Teacher Jeremy Lowry

In this weekend retreat, led by Dharma Ocean teacher Jeremy Lowry, we will explore the practice of sitting meditation and other contemplative tools to bring forth inner quietude. In discussion, we will explore the merits of silence and solitude and the cost of a modern lifestyle based on distraction.

We will spend at least one day of the retreat in silence, including a silent meal. Jeremy will offer practical and experiential instruction on the practice of meditation through guided meditation sessions, talks, and group discussions. No experience necessary—everyone is welcome.
