About the event

Experience a night of deep stillness, clarity, and spiritual insight. Transition into the New Year with the timeless practice of wakefulness and self-liberation. This retreat offers a sacred opportunity to immerse yourself in silence, contemplation, and deep meditation as we honor the Four Watches of the Night—a transformative journey inspired by the Buddha's enlightenment. Through sitting and walking meditations, we will explore the Three Qualities that guide the path to liberation:


🌱 Virtue provides the foundation for clarity and balance, freeing the mind from attachment to external distractions.

🌱 Concentration cultivates a steady, undisturbed awareness, opening the door to inner stillness.

🌱 Discernment cuts through the clinging of the mind, revealing insight and liberation. Together we cleanse the mind of what binds it and arrive fully in the present moment.


This is an invitation to deepen your practice, reconnect with the Dharma, and enter the New Year with an open heart and a clear mind. unique shut-in retreat invites us to turn inward, find stillness, and reflect as we transition into the New Year. Through guided meditations, mindfulness practices, and silent reflection, we will cultivate the tools needed to face 2025 with openness and balance.
