Meeting the Moment: A Meditation Retreat – Cancelled
January 3 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Leader: Richard Hunt, Ph.D.
January 3 – January 7, 2024. Four full days (9:30A – 4:30P) and a half day (9:30 – 12:30) on Sunday. Participants should plan to attend all sessions, barring emergencies.
Fee: The entire $200 fee goes to the Center for the Spiritual Journey for the use of their facility. No additional payment or dana is expected.
This will be a 5 day in-person meditation retreat, led by an experienced meditator who is not associated with a specific lineage. It is suitable for meditators of any level of experience, including those who have never meditated.
The first day will help participants to establish a supportive meditation posture and will focus on the establishment of concentration. The second day will aim to deepen concentration and to move beyond subtle laxity. The last two and 1/2 days will be devoted primarily to silent practice. Participants should bring food to consume during our 1-hour lunch break and snacks they might require.
A retired psychologist, Dr. Hunt has been a student of the Diamond Approach for 27 years, and has participated in well over 50 multi-day retreats as a student of that school. He has also participated in numerous multi-day residential meditation retreats. He has led other meditation retreats at CSJ and led a weekly meditation group for CSJ for 3 years.
