On this Meditate.io week-long retreat, December 2 - 9th, 2017, we’ll be focusing on the development of wisdom through mindfulness practice and the cultivation of love through heartfulness practice. Together, these two styles of practice form The Heart of Insight.

An intensive retreat hosted by Buddhist Geeks. We will focus on concentration, inquiry, and awareness practices. 

Join the Buddhist Geeks for a talk, workshop, and guided practice session. We will be in Nashville, Tn soon!

In meditation we develop a tender active heart and learn to rest in awareness with potent  preciousness of human existence. While we are soft at the core, we are also strong and powerful. In this teaching series we will explore how we can live without armor and masks in a healthy way.

In this Life Retreat we’ll turn away from meditative techniques and toward the capacity of “choiceless awareness.” This choiceless aspect of awareness is operating no matter what you’re doing, whether you’re mindful or distracted, focus or confused, awake or asleep. Because of this it is–as Ajahn Sumedho points out–a true refuge.

Every October in our hometown of Camden, Maine, we bring together 600 diverse thinkers and doers from around the world to share ideas and projects that are shaping the future. The PopTech conference, a gathering for “real thinkers” (WIRED), marks your entry into the extensive PopTech community — a mix of highly motivated and curious speakers, PopTech Fellows, and other participants.

Within the Buddhist contemplative path there are many gateways to experiencing the freedom of unqualifiable emptiness.  In this 6-week intensive Life Retreat we’ll explore several of these wisdom gateways in the context of formal meditation practice and our everyday lives.  We’ll explore some of the classic entry points to emptiness including: ceaseless change, existential struggle, and selflessness.  We’ll also look at the ways in which this (non)experience of emptiness is inseparable from our personal experience and the outer world.
