Take a morning to slow down, settle the mind, and cultivate greater balance through shamatha meditation. This universal attentional practice helps us develop focus, emotional balance, and inner calm while building a stable foundation for greater wisdom, connection, resilience, and well-being. As we move into the holiday season, this is an ideal time to engage in more inner balance and integrate this into your days. Whether you are new to shamatha or have an established practice, this half-day retreat offers an opportunity to deepen your experience and reconnect with a sense of stability and ease. Tea and light snacks provided. In person in Carbondale or join us online. Offered on a donation basis, registration required.
