Event Details
Shifu James has been trained as a teacher by the Thai Meditation and Dharma Master, and former Thai Buddhist Abbot, Dhiravamsa, and has been leading meditation classes and retreats in Canada for 40+ years. Vipassana/ Mindfulness meditation is seemingly simple, but requires guidance from an experienced “spiritual friend” if we are to realize its purpose as taught by the Buddha – Freedom from Suffering and Enlightenment. The 2 day weekend retreat is a brief but intense introduction to starting or rejuvenating a serious Vipassana- Mindfulness based meditation practice in your life. … which can be profoundly transformational.
