In this retreat we will orient toward, and open to, the territory of profound emptiness/ absence – Cessation. Cessation is the ceasing of all materiality and mentality – Nibbana itself. We will do specific group and guided meditations which will invite us to open to qualities of Cessation and potentially Cessation itself.
EXPERIENCE PREREQUISITE: At least two silent, residential, 7-day Buddhist meditation retreats. Please include specifics of your retreat experience to verify that you meet these requirements on your registration form.
