[10/15/2022 UPDATE: Big thanks to the host and participant for allowing me the opportunity, training and experience to lead and facilitate my first (outdoor) (mini) retreat. Possible future retreats include: this spot; at friends’ newly acquired southern central Illinois property of Eastern woodlands; as well as at other locations as arrangements are made]
Wholeness Integrating Presence readers! I’ve come across a small outdoor retreat space at a private residence in a neighborhood in the greater St Louis, Missouri area somewhat close to the city itself.
This is an open call to join my first (micro) donation-based sitting and walking meditation retreat as of now limited to five meditators from 10am to noon on Saturday October 15, 2022. Chairs are provided and I have a few extra blankets and meditation cushions if needed/requested.
Tentative schedule:
10:00am – 10:10 — Greetings, introduction, brief orientation and instructions
10:10 – 10:40 — Establishing one’s retreat intention and minimally guided sitting meditation
10:40 – 10:50 — Silent walking meditation
10:50 – 11:00 — Break or continue walking or sitting meditation
11:00 – 11:40 — Silent sitting meditation
11:40 – 11:50 — Silent walking meditation
11:50 – 11:55 — Silent standing meditation
11:55 – noon — Closing and optional sharing of merit
