The Breath of Peace
A Day-Long Retreat with Pat Coffey
February 26th At JABA 9:30-4:00
The emphasis of this retreat will be on a whole body breathing technique that brings deep peace, calm and unity of heart, mind and body. This form of practice has been utilized by practitioners as one method of access to the meditative absorptions or jhana described and taught by the Buddha. This method has not yet been taught at our regular Tuesday night meetings so please come and explore this extraordinary practice.
Although the experience of this method is profound, the actual technique is not difficult and is suitable for both advanced and beginning practitioners. Instructions will be given such that even first time meditators will have success in learning and practicing.
The day will primarily be in silence with periods of sitting and walking meditation. There will be Q&A sessions and a talk given by Pat.
The suggested donation for this event is $30 to $50. However, no one will be refused participation due to lack of funds.
Please come a little early so we can begin on time. Bring a light bag lunch and whatever sitting materials you need. There are comfortable chairs and a rug on the floor.
Please register due to concerns about winter weather. We want to be able to notify you if needed.
