The retreat will follow the recollective-awareness approach pioneered by Jason Siff. This is an allowing approach to meditative experience based on the Buddha’s teaching, and in particular on gentleness and interest in the whole of our meditative experience. Retreatants can at all times choose between applying a technique they already know and find useful, and unstructured awareness meditation. The retreat will follow the familiar pattern of modern silent insight retreats, but with time allowed for journaling each sit, individual interviews if desired, and daily group interviews.
