Clear Sky Mind: Silent Meditation Retreat

Discover the pure, clear, and limitless nature of your mind. Learn how to overcome mental busyness. Tap into and deeply enjoy your own inner peace and happiness.  

Come learn a very special meditation called "clarity of mind." This meditation has been used for centuries to develop the enormous capacity of our mind for peace, flexibility, concentration, wisdom, and bliss! Ultimately this meditation enables you to free your mind permanently from all inner pain so you can enjoy real inner freedom and lasting happiness.  

Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments.
