SUMMARY:7-Day Insight Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Freeing the Heart & Mind Through Presence and Generosity\nA Seven-day Insight Meditation Retreat Taught by Brian Lesage & Robin Craig \nCo-sponsored by Prescott Insight Meditation and Flagstaff Insight Meditation Community\nApril 12 – 18\, 2025 | Paulden\, Arizona \nRegistration is now open\nThis seventh annual\, week-long Generosity Retreat will focus on cultivating an embodied quality of presence as a way of bringing a deeper sense of freedom and contentment into our lives. Join us for this opportunity to explore the power of mindfulness through silent sitting and walking meditation\, fully immersed in a silent retreat setting for seven days. In silence we have the space to delve deeply inward and learn to skillfully place the intention to be present with the flow of experience in a way that allows compassion and wisdom to arise. This retreat is designed for beginning and experienced practitioners. \nThere is no fee for this retreat. The teachings of the Buddha have been sustained by the 2\,500 year old tradition of dana\, a Pali word meaning “generosity.” Our teachers\, hosts and chefs receive no compensation for their services\, and participants are encouraged to offer donations. In the act of giving we develop our ability to let go\, cultivate a spirit of caring\, and honor our inter-connectedness. \nBrian Lesage has practiced Buddhist meditation since 1988 and has taught meditation since 2000. He has studied in the Zen\, Theravada and Tibetan schools of Buddhism. He was ordained in the Rinzai Zen tradition in 1996. His training in Vipassana Meditation includes doing extended meditation retreats in Myanmar (Burma)\, Nepal\, and India as well as numerous retreats in the U.S. He leads retreats and teaches meditation courses nationwide. Brian also has a private practice in Somatic Experiencing\, which is a naturalistic approach to healing trauma. \nRobin Craig brings her understanding of the physiology of resilience to her meditation teaching\, and supports a joyful exploration of the deep spirituality and interconnection that is ours by nature. Robin is a Certified Meditation Teacher from a lineage rooted in Theravadin and Tibetan Karma Kagyu traditions traced back to the Venerable Ananda Bodhi. She is also a Licensed Professional Counselor and Organic Intelligence® Faculty. \nLocation\nThis is primarily a camping retreat\, with space for tents and small camping vehicles. Some lodging will be available in shared rooms. Vegetarian meals will be provided each day of the retreat. \nOur hosts will be Triveni Ashram in Paulden\, Arizona\, approximately 30 miles north of Prescott. Details about the location and how to prepare will be provided to all participants who are selected to attend. \nRegistration is open through February 14\, 2025\nThe names of applicants will be drawn in a lottery and those not selected will be placed on a waiting list. \nRegister\nPlease consider a contribution to Prescott Insight Meditation in support of this unique retreat\, offered through the generosity of all. Donations will support food\, expenses\, and our retreat center hosts. Funds are not used for Teacher dana and do not affect your chances of admittance to the retreat. Thank you for your contribution! \nPlease Donate
