This retreat is intended for meditators who have at least one year of regular daily practice. If you have not attended one of our previous retreats or are not working individually with one of us, there is a short application process. Send us an e-mail of interest to claudia@clearmountainwisdom.org and we will forward the application questions to you.
The intention of the retreat is to set up the conditions that lead to the direct discovery of awakened awareness.
Over the course of this seven day retreat, we will start with developing a stable base of attention and move through meditations on the body, working with thoughts and emotions and developing compassion.
Toward the end of the week we will introduce the practices of emptiness and one taste from the Mahamudra (Direct Awareness) teachings that lead to the direct experience of the mind’s nature.
We plan to use a variety of techniques including guided meditations, outside practice, daily individual interviews and body work practices during the course of the retreat.
For the benefit of those who attended last year’s retreat, we will place more emphasis on the extraordinary insight meditations and developing stability at the Mahamudra level of practice.
