Continuity of Awareness: A Half-Day Online Meditation Retreat

  • WITHIN Meditation (Online) (map)

A half-day retreat is a wonderful opportunity to connect to deeper levels of insight and tranquility. It is an invitation to shift the pace of life and reorient attention to the here and now.

We will gather at 9:15am PDT / 12:15pm EDT on Saturday November 6th to establish and nourish a connection to the present moment with mindfulness and community. Structure is offered to support participants uncover the innate clarity, stillness, and ease within.

We have noticed that meditation retreats have adapted well to these virtual times! For some individuals, being able to join from their own home is even advantageous. Individuals are not required to look at screens the whole time.

Led by WITHIN Meditation teacher Adam S. Moskowitz, the retreat will include:

  • An introduction

  • Guided sitting & walking meditation

  • Journaling and group reflection

  • A short talk

  • Personal time for tea, rest, etc.

This opportunity is limited to just 10 people. Each person will have the opportunity to share, be heard, and ask questions of Adam, and of the group.

What To Expect & How To Prepare

When you register, Adam will email you additional orientation information with the Zoom link to join. On the day of the retreat, you'll want to find a quiet space where you can be undisturbed for the whole retreat.

We will begin on Saturday morning with a short introduction and welcoming before moving into a half-day of meditation, journaling, and reflection. We ask that all participants arrange with loved ones and friends to be able to fully immerse into the retreat, avoiding outside conversation, cell phones, and emails.


Who Should Come

This retreat is open to all. If you've been building a meditation practice for just a few weeks, for several years, or anything in-between, you'll appreciate the clarity and stillness that come from sitting for longer periods of time, and engaging with others in a safe space.


What It Costs

Participation in this retreat is $60. Registering for the retreat secures your spot. If you cancel up to a week in advance, we will give you a full refund. No refunds are given after that point.
