SUMMARY:Sangha Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sangha Retreat – What to Expect\nRetreat is a time of meditation and education.  Anytime away from home may be a bit psychologically and emotionally challenging. Sleeping in a new space and a change in physical environment is a challenge many participants will encounter and should be expected.  This retreat will not be like a playful summer camp.  It is a time of training our monkey mind and to grow inner practice.  You will live a similar life as a monk or nun in training. \nRetreats are often held in silence. We have set times for silence and maintain it for that period of time.. During retreat we meditate together several times a day.  Sitting meditation is usually done for 30 minutes.  Walking meditation\, Metta Meditation\, Mindful practice and the mindfulness bell will occur throughout the retreat. Please bring your own meditation cushion or sitting bench if possible\, the Sangha retreat will be large and our supplies are limited.  \nMeal times in the mornings and evenings are casual\,  The  lunch meal is formal and held in silence.  Meals will be vegetarian with dairy and eggs available.  Breakfast and lunch are regular meals.  The evening meal is a piece of fruit\, milk (Soy\, Almond\, Dairy).  If you need additional food – please bring your own food that does not need cooking.  Refrigerator use is available. \nThere is a morning work period and a few breaks throughout the day. The daily schedule will include a dharma talk from a teacher\, interviews with the teacher\, and informal tea at night. \n\nThe wake up bell begins at 5:30 AM\, program starts at 6:00 AM  and end around 9 PM\nThe morning work period lasts roughly 60 minutes. During this period\, participants engage in mindful work practice\, meal preparation\, cleaning\, or gardening.\nThere are scheduled breaks after meals.\n\nDOs and Don’ts\nDO \nWear comfortable loose clothing\, Bring a coat and extra blanket and rain gear if appropriate.\nTake off shoes in the temple\, mountain & fireside room\, Plan on garden work – bring gloves.\nStop and take 3 deep breaths when the mindfulness bell rings.  Treat all beings with respect.\nBow often with hands together.  Offer support to others by listening\, smiling\, and being present. \nDON’T \nNo alcohol or recreational drug use.  Tobacco may be used off campus at the entrance gate.\nNo Loud talk after 7 PM.  No campfires or private cooking. No fires at all. \nDon’t speak during Nobel Silent times.\nDon’t offer medication or health advice \nSchedule follows.  Expect changes to this between now and the end of the retreat.
