Description
This 3-week is our longest ever! “Flexible Practice Intensives” are an innovative Dharma Ground offering. They include 1-2 guided meditations per day, drop-in practice support meetings, and evening Candlelight meditations. The guided meditations will include the Arriving Sequence, Nine Bodies Insight Practice, and short teaching stories and poetry. These “Flexible Practice Intensives” can be held as a period of seclusion/dedicated silent practice or as a time of intentional practice that includes work and life responsibilities. You’ll be encouraged to hold these 21 days as valuable intensive practice time, even if you are practicing in multiple, interactive situations such as work and relational life. Each “Flexible Practice Intensive” has a theme and this one is “The Gifts of the Dharma.” The gifts of the Dharma naturally arise when we give ourselves to practice.
Schedule
Guided meditations every day at 7:30 am PT, and some days also at either 11:00 am PT or 6:00 pm PT. (We will include the Tuesday/Friday 7:30 am PT and Wednesday 6:00 pm PT Community Meditations as part of our schedule.) We will also have silent Candlelight meditations every evening at 7:00 pm PT. The practice support groups will be offered at a variety of times throughout the “Flexible Practice Intensive.” The Dharma Ground Temple Hall (online) will also be open for silent, self-practice in community 24/7. The guided meditations will be recorded and shared.
