About the event
From October 1 through January 1, Venerable Clear Grace Dayananda will be observing the Rains Retreat (Vassa), honoring an ancient tradition whose roots reach back to the time of the Buddha. This sacred 90-day season is a call to deepen study, strengthen practice, and nurture the bonds of Beloved Community.
During this retreat, our regular event rhythm will shift to meet the season. Tuesday and Thursday gatherings will be paused until the new year. We will gather collectively on Saturday mornings from 8am-9am for silent presence, and our monthly Community Day of Mindfulness will be shortened to 10am-2pm. These gatherings will be simple yet intentional: spaces of right mindfulness, study, practice, the cultivation of joy and healing.
All are invited to practice in the daily flow of temple life: meditation, silence, meals, service, and study. The heart of the retreat remains grounded in living practice, mindful presence.
