After Mindfulness, Urban Retreat

The Retreat will offer various tracks throughout the weekend filled with guided meditation, movement/yoga classes, panel discussions, small circle of sharing, dharma talks, live music, demonstrations, 2 movie screenings, and a closing concert by Imee Ooi. A free Children's Village will be at the festival with activities such as Empathy Mural, A Puppet Show, Sing, Listen to Stories, and more. Local restaurants will offer vegetarian street food tents on site for a fully immersive gathering of activities. We’ll explore potential answers to "What's After Mindfulness" through a mix of talks from world-renowned teachers, meditation, yoga, and a community of festival partners putting the Buddha's teaching into daily practice. Together, we hope to begin to move beyond mindfulness to cultivate wisdom and compassion and truly connect with the world in which we live. Learn various forms of meditation techniques and practices from diverse traditions and cultures embracing the core teachings of this ancient wisdom. Come meet masters and teachers from Theravada, Zen, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Tibeten, Jodo Shinshu, Heartfulness, and Insight Meditation. To top things off, ALL ticket proceeds will go to four non-profit organizations in our community whose work supports gender equality, cultural exchange, inner and outer peace through service, and awakening community. Join us at this two-day Urban Retreat!
