The retreat will be held in Noble Silence, which means all who attend will remain silent from the opening dharma talk until we break silence on the last full day of retreat. Noah will offer guided meditation instructions twice a day and offer a dharma talk each night. There will be opportunities for some Q and A as well as small groups that will meet with Noah to discuss the experience of retreat. The meditation instruction will include both mindfulness and heart practices to be done both in sitting and walking meditation. Meals will be in silence. there will space for walking meditation both inside the building as well as on the beautiful grounds of the retreat center.
Noble Silence - in this form of meditation retreat we avoid all social communication, this includes eye contact and normal pleasantries like smiling at each other or holding doors open etc. reading and journaling are also discouraged. A silent retreat is an opportunity to be mindful of all of our activities and mind states free from the normal distractions of everyday life and not obscured by our social interactions with each other. The outcome is deeper insight into the impermanent, impersonal and unsatisfactory nature of all things. These insights deepen our freedom and help wake us up to the reality that the only reliable refuge is internal.
