He trained under Venerable Nanaponika Thera in the canonical and philosophical aspects of Buddhism, and received meditation teacher training under his teacher and Venerable Pemasiri. David has done over eight years of deep retreat, and maintains an extensive daily practice.

We have the special possibility this weekend as community to support each other to awaken in love, wisdom and the other qualities of the heart that dissolve our doubt and confusion. By walking the Buddha’s path together we give and receive the greatest of blessings: spiritual friendship.

This residential retreat will be held in the container of silence with a time for group inquiry and individual interviews each day. There will be guided meditations in mindfulness and loving kindness, and dharma talks.

As a gathering, we will be supported to become conscious of the diversity in the room as well as the larger communities of which we are a part.

TEACHER: Arinna Weisman has studied Insight Meditation since 1979 and has been teaching since 1989. She teaches in the lineage of the Great Burmese master U Bha Khin and was empowered to teach by Ruth Denison. Arinna is the guiding teacher of Dhamma Dena in Joshua Tree, CA and co-author of A Beginner’s Guide to Insight Meditation. Her dharma practice and teaching is infused with her political and environmental activism, and her passion is building multicultural sanghas. More info:
