Please visit the Kevala Retreat Center website for information on online retreats that will be guided by Santikaro. The first of these will be a five day online retreat from January 27 - January 31, 2021.

• Mid-Winter Retreat with Refuges and Resources – January 27-31 (5 full days)
  The holidays are past, days are colder, nights are longer, and the pandemic continues. This can be a challenging time to sustain our Dhamma practice and live up to our inspired resolutions. Whatever the external conditions, we sustain ourselves by fostering Resources and Refuges that we can return to and rekindle wholesome states of mind when bogged down, stumbling, or on autopilot. The Dhamma offers a web of resilience to tap into on a daily basis. Please read this PDF for details.

• Mindfulness with Breathing – February 22-27 (6 full days)
  Breath is life and mindfulness with breathing (anapanasati) is the foundation meditation of original Buddhism. Breath connects us with the here-now, webs of life that support us, and deeper realities of mind-body. This retreat will emphasize how breath shapes health, clear-calm mind, and insights. We’ll explore webs of relationship that involve breath and the cyclic, patterned nature of life.

• Brahma-Viharas, Divine, Immeasurable Abodes – March 23-27 (5 full days)
  Through kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity our hearts release from deadening egoism. These “godly homes” — along with gratitude, forgiveness, trust, and respect — are beautiful alternatives to destructive emotions like envy and anger. These facets of love express our commitment to Dhamma in a world that’s often divisive, scary, and exploitative. By opening ourselves beyond petty ego fixations we embody the better world everyone deserves.
