May Half-Day Retreat with Michael Bresnan: Navigating Rough Seas (5/4/2024) (In Person Only)
In personThe Buddha sometimes used the metaphor of a boat to represent our practice — a boat that carries us to the other shore. In other words, our practice carries us from the present shore of anxiety, stress and anger to the shore of awakening and peace. Of course, the two shores and the waters between are all aspects of our own mind. In this half-day retreat, we will examine how to use our mindfulness to navigate these waters when the seas become rough.
This short retreat is open to both beginners and experienced meditators. While it will be conducted mainly in silence, there will be brief instructions in vipassana meditation, a Dhamma talk, and a discussion period at the end.
Wenham CfMIM currently offers retreats once per month. We recommend and encourage participation in these monthly programs—the extended practice period, two-hours longer than our weekly classes, supports the mind in becoming stable and thus insight can arise more naturally.

Covid Policy
While we are doing our best to follow expert guidelines for making the environment as safe as possible, the spread of the virus is ultimately beyond our control, so you should make your own determination as to whether it is appropriate for you to come.
Advance Registration is Required
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.
