Dharma Treasure

Dec 20 – 27 

Attention training in the jungle

 This is a great opportunity to practice TMI in a location steeped in an ancient Buddhist landscape.
We will be covering the ten stages of meditation as described in the book The Mind Illuminated. This retreat offers a mix of guided meditation, silent practice, and traditional teachings, making it perfect for everyone, whether you’re just starting out with no prior knowledge of The Mind Illuminated or you’re a seasoned meditator looking to deepen your practice.

• Structured Progression: Learn about the stages of meditation of the Elephant Path, from establishing a practice to achieving sustained attention and meditative joy.
• Technical Focus: Dive into the cognitive science behind meditation, including attention, awareness, and overcoming distractions like mind-wandering and dullness.
• Practical Guided Meditation: Hands-on sessions to develop skills like intentional focus, peripheral awareness, and metacognitive introspection, with real-time feedback.
• Tailored Guidance: Small group allows for personalized coaching from certified instructors trained in Culadasa’s methodology.

We’ll embrace Noble Silence throughout the retreat, encouraging minimal talking, activity, and distractions. By disconnecting from phones and the internet, you’ll have the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in meditation while connecting with a supportive community of fellow practitioners.

Prices from $710 lodging and food included.
