Exploring Retreat: Six Daily Meditation and Practice Talks Online

Join us online from our Open Practice Retreat in Portugal. We will offer a live 90-minute daily session that includes meditation and a talk by our Tergar Guides Kell Julliard and Jess McNally. This program is open to everyone.

The talks will be on themes related to meditation retreat practice. They will be relevant to those who have an existing meditation practice and are considering doing retreat in the future, or who have done meditation retreat before and are interested in exploring these topics in greater depth. (See talk titles below.)

The meditation sessions will be loosely guided, with much of the time left silent to do your own meditation practice. If you are new to meditation, this may not be the best way to start as we will not offer beginning instruction.
