Non-Residential Retreats

Non-Residential Retreats

Awareness and Wisdom Integrated Home Retreat (Online Zoom format)
Taught by Andrea Fella
Inspired by the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya.
March 9-15, 2025 (Sunday through Saturday) with two online sessions daily

During this weeklong online retreat we will explore a relaxed open awareness with an emphasis on exploring qualities of mind, and the attitude towards one’s experience. Such an open awareness practice supports both the formal meditation of sitting and walking, as well as awareness of our normal daily activities. The emphasis for this week will be exploring integrating awareness into our whole day and all activities.
