DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Happiness & Joy\nA Weekend ONLINE Meditation Retreat\nwith Shaila Catherine \nMarch 25 – 27\, 2022 \nThis at-home online  weekend retreat will explore the place of profound happiness in Buddhist practice.

The online meetings will include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, question and answer sessions\, and small group discussions. \nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration will close about 3 days prior to the retreat\, so don’t wait to the last minute! \nMore information\, an expanded schedule\, and a link to join the video conferences will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the retreat. \nThis retreat is appropriate for beginning\, intermediate\, and experienced practitioners. \nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Pacific Time PDT) \nFriday\n5:30 – 7:00 pm – Opening Session – Buddhist Perspectives on Happiness & Joy \nSaturday\n8:00 – 8:45 am – Morning Meditation – Cultivating Joy in Meditation\n10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Morning Session – Gladness\, Kindness\, and the Bliss of Non-remorse\n2:00 – 4:00 pm – Afternoon Session – Joy of Renunciation \nSunday\n8:00 – 8:45 am – Morning Meditation – Cultivating Joy in Meditation\n10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Morning Session – Joy of Seclusion\n2:00 – 4:00 pm – Afternoon Session – Joy of Liberation \nVisit our Founding Teacher page for biography and photograph of the teacher. \nQuestions?: For more information contact meditate \nCo-sponsored by Bodhi-Retreats and Insight Meditation South Bay \n\nRegistration: Registration is required for this course.
