Join the Brooklyn-based teachers of DharmPunx NYC: Kathy Cherry, Jessica Morey and Josh Korda for this retreat. We will practice with an emphasis towards connecting with wholesome desires, what the Buddha called "chanda," discerning between this life-affirming motivation and "tanha," the unquenchable thirst for short term pleasures.  The retreat includes teachings on the dharma and contemporary psychological therapies, silent sittings, walking meditations in nature, interactions with teachers, experiential exercises, interpersonal dialogues.

Join Space2Meditate teachers Jon Aaron and Dharmacharini Upayadhi as we explore the teachings of the Triple Gem. This retreat is suitable for those newer to practice, as well as for those with extensive "time on the cushion" and knowledge of the teachings. We will explore the themes in ways that are meaningful for all, whether anchored in the Buddhist tradition, in other traditions, or none.

Join us for this Daylong gathering with teachers Arawana Hayashi and Nichol Chase. This special retreat will appeal to those looking to align their bodies, hearts and minds in the serenity of a contemplative environment. We will offer an array of embodying practices that can easily become the basis of your daily practice for the year. This retreat includes instruction in different practices that foster a sense of connection with the wisdom of the body and, in the process, can help reduce stress:  yoga, Social Presencing Theater, and mindfulness meditation. ***No prior experience with movement or mindfulness practices required.
