4 Day Silent Retreat

October 28 - November 1, 2026

JERICHO HOUSE, PORT COLBORNE, ONTARIO

This four-day silent insight (vipassana) meditation retreat grounded in the Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness — a path of embodied awareness that supports clarity, steadiness, and inner freedom.  

Compassion is not something we need to create, but something we uncover as the mind settles and perception becomes clearer. It is our habitual ways of relating—to ourselves, to others, and to difficulty—that shape how open or closed the heart feels.  This retreat brings attention to these patterns, and through seeing clearly, we notice where we resist, where we hold on, and where there may be space to relate with more care.

3 Day Silent Retreat

December 4 - 6, 2026

JERICHO HOUSE, PORT COLBORNE, ONTARIO

As we move toward the close of the year, many of us long for a deeper sense of peace. Yet the weeks leading into the holidays can often feel hurried, demanding, and anything but peaceful. This retreat offers an opportunity to step out of that momentum and discover a quieter, steadier way of meeting life.
 
 In the Buddhist tradition, peace is not something we manufacture or chase. It arises through conditions. As we learn to pay attention more wisely—to the body, the heart, and the mind—we begin to recognize the habits that disturb peace and the qualities of attention that allow it to emerge naturally.  

Through periods of noble silence, sitting and walking meditation, gentle mindful movement, Dharma reflections, and time in nature, we will explore a simple but profound inquiry
