This retreat will focus on integrating a sense of embodied warmth with an intuitive knowing by cultivating a relaxed and kind attention in all activities. We will pay particular attention to attitudes of mind—such as pushing away, leaning in, or spacing out—and the impacts of those mind states on one’s capacity to connect with lovingkindness and deep inner intuitive listening.

Pragmatic Dharma is about doing what works. Retreat practice presents a unique opportunity to do more of what works. During this Pragmatic Dharma Retreat we’ll be focused on increasing both the quality and quantity of our engaged practice together. We’ll do this by following a disciplined retreat schedule, while also giving ourselves the freedom to practice as needed–even if that sometimes means breaking with the schedule.
