Retreats
Temple Buddhist Center is committed to providing meaningful meditation opportunities for everyone.
We offer daylong hybrid retreats on a quarterly basis, and one or two residential retreats per year.
Our next retreat will be a Daylong Retreat on November 15th.
Virtual and In-Person attendance is always available.
Om for the Holidays: Equanimity in the Season of Activity
The daylong retreat is an excellent way to deepen one's practice and is provided for the community to accommodate busy family lives. There will be sitting, walking, and movement meditations as well as conferences and a dharma talk. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch, wear comfortable clothing and bring a reusable drinking cup. Whether you have been meditating for years or weeks, we hope you will join us as we take a deeper dive into the practice together.
