In these daylongs of practice, study and discussion we will:

· spend lots of time meditating together, learning techniques

  to strengthen concentration, develop jhana and deepen insight.

· through teaching and discussion, explore various understandings

  of samadhi and jhana, and how they relate to insight meditation.

· learn teachings and practices of various well-known samadhi and

  jhana teachers.

Optional ongoing practice support will include monthly practice interviews and a residential retreat.

This class is offered on a donation basis.
