SUMMARY:New Year's Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Begin 2027 at the annual New Year’s meditation retreat with John and Laura at the Mercy Center in Auburn\, CA. This is a rare opportunity to be guided in practice by both John Bruna and Laura Bartels! \nJohn and Laura\nThe retreat is beginner friendly and will also allow for seasoned meditators to deepen their practice. We will focus on developing the foundational methods and practices to sustain a meditation practice that is right for you. The days will include multiple short meditation sessions\, quiet reflection time\, guidance\, and discussion in the group teachings. \nThe primary meditation will be the foundational practice of shamatha (calm abiding) meditation. Shamatha is a universal practice\, applicable to everyone\, and is the antidote to an obsessive\, compulsive\, busy mind. It enhances any other meditation practice and provides the foundation for mental and emotional balance. \nThere will be ample time for journaling\, walks\, and spaciousness to gain clarity regarding your life and the way you choose to engage in the year that awaits you. \nRegister directly with the Mercy Center.
