August Half-Day Retreat with Chris Crotty — Meditating with Ease: The Reality of Non-attachment (8/2/2025) (In Person Only)
In personOne of the core teachings of the Dharma is that our happiness and wellbeing rely less on our experiences than how we respond to them. The implications of this are significant and suggest that through insight (vipassana) meditation we learn how to relate to the mind and body in a manner conducive to a relaxed mind; we can remain at ease despite circumstances. This realistic goal is both practical and attainable with the correct view and skills. In this half-day insight meditation retreat we will look closely at the ways the mind is habituated towards grasping and clinging, while practicing meditation techniques to disrupt this pattern in favor of non-attachment.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, beginners and experienced meditators alike. Coffee and Tea will be provided.

Because social distancing means limiting the number of people in the meditation hall at one time, you must sign up in advance to attend. You may register weeks in advance or right before a class, but you won’t be able to register if we’ve already reached our maximum.
Face Coverings
Facemasks are not required but are recommended when social distancing is not possible. Please follow the Centers for Disease Control and Massachusetts state guidelines.
Maintain Social Distancing
Attendees are asked to mindfully maintain their distance from one another while on the property.
