17-night Retreat: Concentration (Samādhi) & Fall Insight Retreat

Our Dharma & Recovery group explores the intersection of recovery with Buddhist teachings and practices. We welcome all people who identify with any of the full range of addictions, from substances to behaviors, as well as habitual thought and emotional patterns.

For 26 years, Phillip Moffitt has offered this beloved annual retreat, where poetry and meditation interweave to illuminate the path of awakening. Each poem is hand-selected to point directly at Dharma insights—softening us, freeing us, and carrying our practice into daily life.

This daylong retreat invites us to tend the longing for connection by caring for our bodies and distressed nervous systems through embodying the qualities of kindness and compassion. The retreat integrates Dharma teachings, meditation, somatic movement, and accessible yoga to explore how the heart qualities—the brahmavihāras—can be cultivated through the body.
