“Four Foundations of Mindfulness”

With Rebecca Bradshaw, Insight Meditation Society
In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha gives us precise instructions of
how to be mindful and what to be mindful of in a way that leads to
freeing our hearts and minds from contraction and suffering. In this
silent meditation retreat, open to both beginning and experienced
meditators, we will explore this central Buddhist discourse dedicated
to mindfulness meditation practice. Bringing in mindful movement and
loving kindness meditation we will ground our practice in
compassionate presence.
Rebecca Bradshaw is a Guiding Teacher at Insight Meditation Society
in Barre, MA. She has been teaching meditation since 1993, and is a
Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has been leading the annual residential Vipassana
retreat with the Yellow Springs Dharma Center since 2006.
The retreat will be held at the Jesuit Spiritual Center of Milford, Ohio located north of
Cincinnati on beautiful grounds next to the Little Miami River. All participants will have a
single room and vegetarian meals will be provided.

Both the seven day and the two day retreat are appropriate for
those new to residential retreat as well as those more

experienced.

All are welcome to attend either retreat.

Registration will be open in late October. Please watch here for
