June Open Practice Weekend
With Lama Willa Blythe Baker
June 1 - 3, 2018
Registration is open until May 25th. Please don’t delay!
Enjoy a silent weekend of practice or just come for one full day/night. Open practice weekends at Wonderwell are opportunities for beginning and experienced meditators to deepen their practice, participate in group meditation sessions, explore the natural beauty of the seasons of Wonderwell, and to connect with teachers-in-residence with opportunities for private practice interviews. These weekends include participation in Dharma Sunday, if you so choose.
Noble Silence is observed from 9pm Friday through 7:30am Sunday
The rate per person per night is as low as possible on these weekends to allow everyone to come and practice. Natural Dharma Fellowship Members also receive a 50% rate reduction to the already discounted rate. The weekend includes very simple vegetarian meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including access to kitchen staples, teas, and snacks.
Anyone who wishes to commute, please use the NDF Member pricing options to register. This will cover the cost of meals, offer a container in which to practice and an opportunity for a private practice interview.
Anyone wishing a 20 minute practice interview with the in-resident-teacher can sign up for one during check-in. Interviews will not be scheduled before arrival on Open Practice Weekends.
