AUTUMN RESET:
Quiet Mind | Open Heart

Autumn in the Northeast is exciting and hectic. With lazy summer days gone and the holidays just around the corner, it’s easy to get swept up in the urgency and stress of everyday life. In preparation for darker days and the inevitable holiday madness, this year’s fall retreat is about consciously reigning in our mind and shoring up our foundation for the winter.

In addition to thoughtful Dharma talks with practical take-aways, this year’s retreat places a strong emphasis on simple, straight-forward sitting practice — all within the context of compassion for self and others.

The early morning and evening sessions will be quiet, focused-based meditation while the afternoon sessions will be open awareness and compassion practices.

Expect a carefully curated schedule that skillfully balances group instruction and practice with ample personal time for hiking, resting, and connecting with others. This retreats include a lot of practice time but still feels extremely spacious and relaxed. The Dharma teachings, meditation, and yoga are suitable for all levels.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Silent Sunrise and Sunset Meditation Overlooking the Catskills. Thoughtful Dharma Talks. Evening Sound Baths. Crisp Mountain Air. Meandering Hikes. Gentle Yoga. Fall Foliage. Garden Fresh Food. Time to Connect with Yourself and Others.

Private bathrooms are occasionally available by special request. There are no en-suite bathrooms.

THE LAND AND FOOD: Won Dharma Center has over 400 acres of trails that meander through meadows and forests with stunning views of the Catskills, thoughtfully placed benches, and a secret river.
