Ordinary Wonder: Practice as Life, Life as PracticeA New Year's Householder Retreat with Yong Oh & Kate Siber
REGISTRATION FOR THE WEEK-LONG PROGRAM
IN PERSON & ONLINE
Multiple gatherings from Tuesday, January 7 through Saturday, January 11th—all offered both in-person and on Zoom.
This offering is a week-long householder retreat that begins on January 7. You may register for the entire offering, or just register for the daylong on Saturday.
Join us as we ease into this new year through mindful practice, community and spiritual friendship. Whether you’re renewing your connection to meditation or deepening your commitment to the path, we’ll gather together to pause, reflect and begin again. In the classical teachings, the word 'householder' is used to describe someone who, rather than choosing the life of a monastic, brings the practice into their everyday lives. Our home lives, relationships, work, and all that we might relate to at times as 'ordinary' actually become a doorway into an integrated path to spiritual awakening.
Opening with a talk on Monday, January 6th, the householder retreat formally begins Tuesday morning and ends with a daylong retreat on Saturday, January 11th. From Tuesday through Friday, we will meet for an hour-long gathering in the morning and an hour-long gathering in the evening. Each session will include guided meditation practice. The morning session will be quieter with instructions or reflections shared by Yong or Kate. The evening sessions will be more interactive with the opportunity for connection, sharing and discussion. Between the morning and evening gatherings, the intention is to bring the practice into the flow of your ordinary but wonderful life as it is.
This retreat, led by Yong Oh and Kate Siber, will be in-person as well as hybrid via Zoom, and is suitable for all levels of meditation experience. You are welcome to go back and forth between Zoom and the meditation hall as it works for your schedule.
COST: The Dharma Center operates on the gift economy and the cost of this offering is on a two-part sliding scale. The fee that you offer through the registration system ($100, $175, $250, or $325 or scholarship options of $50 or $25) supports our non-profit, which pays the costs of the website, administration, building, etc. In keeping with our 2,600-year-old tradition, the teachers of the retreat are not compensated but rather share the teachings freely. In turn, you are invited into the practice of dana, or generosity, a gift economy system that has been alive since the time of the Buddha. At the end, you are invited to make a donation to support the teachers in continuing their valuable work. Donations in any amount whatsoever are gratefully received, and the practice of generosity is always elective.
