ONLINE RETREATS | APRIL – SEPTEMBER 2021

Online Retreats, Spring & Summer 2021 While we have shifted all our programs to an online format in response to COVID-19, we look forward to opening Spirit Rock to in-person programs as soon as safely possible. As our practice teaches us, the future remains uncertain. In the meantime, we invite you to explore the many types of practice possible with online support from Spirit Rock. The heart of practice at Spirit Rock is the retreat experience, now possible entirely at home. An at-home retreat provides an opportunity and a caring container for dedicated meditation practice, like an immersion course in a language. The heart of retreat practice, at home just as much as here on the land, is to see the ways we create difficulties in our lives and to discover a freedom of heart in the midst of all things. Retreats are led by teams of experienced teachers offering instructions, Dharma talks, and regularly scheduled practice meetings to provide guidance throughout. All retreats are being modified for an at-home schedule and experience. In a short time, we’ve received such kind messages of gratitude, testimonials to how rich the home practice is, and incredible generosity from our sangha. Join us.
On hearing true teachings, the hearts of those who are receptive become serene, like a lake, deep, clear and still. (dhammapada, tr. munindo)

MY HOME IS MY TEMPLE: The Beauty of Online Retreat
At first glance, doing a retreat at home, interacting with the teachers and community only online, may not seem like a “retreat” at all. For many of us, the thing that defines retreat is being somewhere other than at home! At Spirit Rock, the beauty of the land, the artfulness of the kitchen, and the stillness you can feel just stepping into the Main Hall are all part of what makes retreat so nourishing. People have always gone to nature and to centers, temples, and monasteries away from the bustle of the city to devote themselves wholeheartedly to spiritual practice. So what is “home retreat”? Home retreat is clearly not the same as a retreat on the Spirit Rock land and perhaps is best thought of as an entirely distinct practice. Home retreat shares core qualities with residential retreats, like the intention to devote ourselves fully to mindfulness and lovingkindness. But there’s one big difference: other people! When you’re on retreat at Spirit Rock, one of our primary intentions is to protect the retreat space. We use noble silence, the precepts, and the rhythms of communal practice to create the conditions for concentration and insight. In this protected space, practitioners can go inward, become vulnerable, and devote themselves to practice mostly uninterrupted by logistical or interpersonal contact. The very definition of retreat may be something like protected space for spiritual practice. At home, there may be people around who are not “on retreat,” like family, housemates, or children. And the temptation to engage “just a little bit” with the ceaseless flow of email, news, and messages can be very strong. Because of this, one of the most important practices for home retreat is to create protected space. Sharing a retreat schedule with the people you live with can help. Find ways to maintain silence as

much as possible, such as putting your devices away except when using them to participate in the retreat calls, and perhaps make a small altar with spiritual images, items from nature, or photos of ancestors. A few simple practices like these can transform your home into sacred space— or remind you that it always was. What’s a day on home retreat like? We wake up in the morning and remember that we’re on retreat. Maybe we sit first thing or just move with more presence than usual through our morning routine, making breakfast, cleaning up. We join the community for morning practice. Engaging mindfully with the screen takes practice, of course. But so does sitting in a room with 90 strangers! We hear the voices of the teachers as we meditate, receiving the waves of breath, feeling, and thought as they come, returning again and again to the body, growing in kindness and patience. This is retreat, same as ever. Through the day there are times when we interact with the community online, but most of the time we’re on our own, just like on any retreat. We deal with the hindrances, come in and out of focus, and find that no matter what’s happening, how skillfully we respond is all that matters. We cook a meal, do eating meditation, and clean up as if all of it is work meditation, and try to do all of it in the spirit of retreat: quietly, without rushing, fully present. And if there are people around, maybe we find that the smile or the few words we share have a sweetness or poignancy to them that we wouldn’t have felt if we were on a more secluded retreat. To give ourselves fully to practice at home is to bring the messiness of the home onto retreat with us, but it is also to turn the home into a temple. We talk a lot in this tradition about mindfulness in daily life. Well, if there were ever a time for bringing mindfulness and lovingkindness into daily life, this is it! We’re grateful to be able to offer this beautiful practice of home retreat, in service of well-being in this time of crisis—for each of us and for all beings everywhere.

4.8–4.11 Thurs-Sun
PRACTICAL EMPTINESS NIKKI MIRGHAFORI, SAYADAW U JAGARA At its core, the Dharma is practical, and the teachings on emptiness (suññatā) are no exception. Far from being bleak and nihilistic, emptiness practice liberates experience to be appreciated in richer fullness. This online retreat is an invitation to open to the accessible and practical teachings on emptiness. Seeing experience through this lens offers freedom from the prison of our limited conceptual framework. When all drops away, the groundless ground of love and compassion emerges.
4.19–4.23 Mon–Fri
INSIGHT MEDITATION AND THE DIRECT PATH TO LIBERATION WILL KABAT-ZINN, NEESHA PATEL, VICTORIA CARY Retreat is a precious opportunity to cultivate mindfulness in an uninterrupted manner, taking every moment of the day and every arising experience as the very path of practice. In this retreat we will cultivate mindfulness of body, feeling tone, mind, and mind-objects while walking, standing, sitting, lying down, talking with others, remaining silent, and attending to our home duties. We’ll give ourselves over wholeheartedly to the simple practice that the Buddha called “the direct path... to Nibbāna.”
4.25–5.1 Sun–Sat
INSIGHT MEDITATION RETREAT GIL FRONSDAL, AMANA BREMBRY JOHNSON, TUERE SALA, JOZEN GIBSON This is a silent retreat designed especially for those relatively new to the practices of Insight Meditation (vipassanā).

THE DHARMA OF BEING ANTI-RACIST: ACCESSING SKILLFUL ENGAGEMENT REV. LIÊN SHUTT & DAWN HANEY CLASS SERIES Would you like to skillfully practice anti-racism? The Eightfold Path provides ways to enact: • Wisdom of understanding and thoughts • Meaningful meditations and practices with effort, mindfulness, and concentration • Fostering engaged behaviors in speech, action, and livelihood Inquiring into the causes and conditions that have brought about our collective suffering from racism, this course will offer meditations, reflective writings, mindfulness practices, and interactive exercises to support grounding, settledness, and skillful action.

THE FOUR PROTECTIVE MEDITATIONS: DEVELOPING COURAGE TO MEET THE WAY THINGS TRULY ARE ĀNANDABODHI BHIKKHUNĪ, SANTACITTA BHIKKHUNĪ, AYYA DHAMMADĪPĀ This retreat brings together practices that brighten the mind and open it to our highest aspiration while grounding us in our immediate experience of change. These meditations are: recollection of the Buddha, mettā meditation, contemplation of the body, and reflection on death. By nourishing and strengthening the heart and mind and giving us courage to explore the true nature of embodied life, these meditations protect us from getting lost in hopes and fears, guiding us toward awakening.
5.10–5.13 Mon–Thur

SPRING INSIGHT MEDITATION RETREAT MATTHEW BRENSILVER, TUERE SALA, BRIAN LESAGE Nobody tells us this when we’re growing up, but being human is a big deal. It feels great, it hurts, it’s intense. We know it won’t go on forever. Given this, what kind of happiness is possible? In mindfulness meditation, we practice resting, looking deeply, knowing momentby-moment what it’s like to be human. The more deeply we look, the more we come to know the preciousness of our life and the poignancy of the human condition. From this openness, so much goodness unfolds.

5.26–5.30 Wed-Sun
AGING, DYING, AND AWAKENING EUGENE CASH, DARA WILLIAMS OPEN TO THOSE AGE 55 AND OVER
Living life fully includes aging and dying. It’s a natural process and ripe with spiritual possibilities. Right now we know we will die, but we do not know when or how. Through engaging in a variety of contemplations on death, our confidence in our capacity to meet death peacefully increases. Join a group of your peers who are interested in life after 55 as a new stage of life, one which offers opportunities for deepening in wisdom and compassion and loosening our fears around dying.
6.7–6.12 Mon–Sat
AWAKENING JOY: OPENING TO YOUR NATURAL STATE OF WELL-BEING JAMES BARAZ, JANE BARAZ, DEBRA CHAMBERLIN-TAYLOR, LESLIE BOOKER The Buddha was known as “The Happy One.” However, the teachings often seem to emphasize working with suffering. Joy and happiness can seem frivolous or unspiritual, even though joy is one of the Seven Factors of Awakening. In this retreat we will practice with an emphasis on cultivating wholesome states to develop our natural capacity for well-being and happiness. Our own development of well-being and joy then becomes our gift to a troubled world.
6.15–6.19 Tues–Sat
MINDFULNESS FOR EVERYONE: PRACTICING ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF AWARENESS DIANA WINSTON, ALEX HALEY, CAROL CANO In this retreat, we will learn about the Spectrum of Awareness practices, from focused awareness to investigative and choiceless awareness, to natural awareness. Natural awareness is an effortless, radiant, and spacious state of being that includes awareness of awareness. Over the retreat, through sitting, walking meditations, lectures. exercises, and meetings with teachers, we will practice each type of awareness and make each practice relevant to daily life.

NINE BODIES INSIGHT RETREAT: EXPLORING LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS DANA DEPALMA, PHILLIP MOFFITT, TUERE SALA Prerequisite: Completion of one (or more) six-night (or longer) silent, residential insight meditation retreat(s). The Nine Bodies Insight Meditations and teachings presented in this retreat offer a new method of practicing Insight Meditation. Through a series of guided meditations we will explore ever more subtle levels of consciousness. This method offers a means for tracking meditative experiences, which can help you stay present with whatever arises, increase the stability and clarity of mindfulness, and enable the arising of insight. This method integrates teachings on consciousness from Himalayan yoga master Premvarni Balyogi with Dharma teachings.
6.29–7.3 Tues–Sat
BIPOC RETREAT DARA WILLIAMS, AMANA BREMBY JOHNSON & FRIENDS This retreat is open to all self-identified Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) at all levels of meditation experience. Dharma practice offers us a way to develop a deep and abiding freedom beyond external conditions and changing circumstances. We will practice sitting and walking meditation, as well as developing mindfulness in our daily activities and cultivating the heart through connection and community. The BIPOC retreat is a wonderful opportunity to focus on self-love, healing, resilience, and liberation to connect with our roots and our communities.
7.6–7.13 Tues–Tues
JULY LOVINGKINDNESS RETREAT TEMPEL SMITH, BONNIE DURAN, JOHN MARTIN Mettā is the Pāli term for friendship, goodwill or lovingkindness. In this retreat we will develop mettā as a meditation practice, which cultivates our natural capacity for an open and loving heart toward ourselves and all other beings. We will also develop the practices of compassion, joy, and equanimity. Given the length of this retreat, we will also teach mettā meditation for deeper states of refuge, seclusion, and a power of conviction from which we can live in our complex world.
Reflections from Our Practitioners— To my surprise, I have greatly liked the intensive home retreat experience. I found that having the teachers bring the Dharma right into my daily life was so helpful in integrating my practice with my everyday life. I found too that the feeling of Sangha was strong as we all sat together, had guided meditations together, questions and answers, and breakout time with other retreat participants. What I have found since doing the home retreats is that I am now spending more time at home as if I was on a retreat. I am better able to integrate these parts of my life. — I just want to say THANK YOU to Spirit Rock for this offering. I live very far away and have wanted to do a retreat in person for a long time. I am now able to participate in this way. — Thank you so much for all the effort you’re putting in bringing mindfulness into our homes. It’s so needed, and something to be happy for even in this difficult time. I’m in Italy right now, and it really feels like a gift to be able to follow some of your programs from home while quarantined ... thank you, thank you, thank you. — What you folks are doing, making the Dharma available for everyday people who are practitioners but may not have the financial or temporal means to come to Spirit Rock, is astonishing. I live almost 1,000 miles away and was able to sit a two-day retreat with Mark Coleman, someone I’ve long admired… What a gift. My deepest respect and gratitude. — This was an online retreat, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my experience was truly extraordinary. I took the retreat at home, in a house that I share with my wife, who was not taking the retreat, and that worked out well. The relative solitude at home was balanced by the daily online sessions where I felt a real sense of Sangha. I was deeply affected by this retreat, and I recommend it enthusiastically to any serious practitioner.

8.14–8.31* Sat–Tues
CONCENTRATION AND AWARENESS: RETREAT FOR EXPERIENCED STUDENTS GUY ARMSTRONG, PHILLIP MOFFITT, SALLY ARMSTRONG, ANDREA FELLA, DAWN SCOTT The first half of this retreat will focus on the development of concentration (samādhi), the collectedness of mind that gives it strength and stability. For practitioners at all levels of experience, it is a key ingredient in the deepening of meditative insight. The second half will build on the foundation of concentration to explore the nature of awareness, which is the heart of sentient life. As we deepen our connection to this mysterious capacity for knowing, it becomes a powerful pathway to inner freedom and liberation. *This retreat’s length will vary depending on format. Please go to spiritrock.org for updates. 17
THE SACRED PAUSE Jack Kornfield
Because experience happens so quickly, habitual responses can come out of our mouth before we know it. It helps to practice skillful responses when things are easy. That way when things are tough, our pattern is already set. It also helps to train ourselves to pause before our response. This is called the sacred pause, a moment where we stop and release our identification with problems and reactions. Without a pause, our actions are automatic. In a moment of stopping, we break the spell between past result and automatic reaction. When we pause, we can notice the actual experience, the pain or pleasure, fear or excitement. In the stillness before our habits arise, we become free. In this pause, we can examine our intention. If we have set a long-term intention or dedication for our life, we can remember our vows. Or we can simply check our motivation. Are we trying to get even, win at any cost? Or do we want to act out of respect for ourself and others to sow seeds of understanding and courage? It is in our hands. The power of intention is most easily visible in our speech. In conversation we get immediate feedback, and often the response we get will reflect our intention. Before we speak, we can examine our motivation. Is our motivation one of compassion and concern for everyone? Or do we want to be right? Clarifying our intention is critical in times of difficulty. When there is difference or conflict, do we genuinely want to hear about the concerns of the other? Are we open to learn, to see? Try this in your next argument or conflict: Take a pause. Hold everyone’s struggle in compassion. Connect with your highest intention. Whenever things get difficult, pause before you speak and sense your wisest motivation. From there, it will all flow better. This is the secret of wise speech. As the Buddha describes it: “Speak with kindly motivation. Speak what is true and helpful, speak in due season and to the benefit of all.” When we connect with our highest intention, we learn to see with eyes of compassion and everything becomes more workable.
