Weekend Retreat at the Dharma Centre
“Simplicity”
Dharma Centre, Kinmount ON
The Buddhist Place is very fortunate to be able to host a weekend sangha residential retreat at the Dharma Centre in Kinmount with the theme of Simplicity. The retreat will begin Friday evening and end after the midday meal on Sunday. The retreat will follow a schedule with alternating sitting and walking meditation. There will be instructions and reflections by sangha members. Morning and evening sessions of Chikung will be offered.
The Dharma Centre is situated on a 400 acre property located north-east of Toronto, near Kinmount. Founded in 1966, the Dharma Centre is one of the oldest meditation centers in North America. The Dharma Center offers single and shared accommodation in a beautiful setting of Ontario woodlands, streams and meadows. There is a main administration building which contains the kitchen and dining room that seats 28. On the property the centre's members constructed the Temple building, where most of the activities take place.
An application is attached in WORD. Please inform us if you have any difficulty opening it. Those interested should print out and complete the application and mail it in promptly with a cheque for deposit (paid to The Buddhist Place) to Retreat – Isabel Stukator, 248 Wolsely St., Peterborough, ON K9H 4Z6
The intention is to make the teachings as accessible as possible. There is a spot on the application to indicate if the retreat fee would cause financial hardship and to specify how much you may be able to offer towards the retreat. In those cases, we will make every attempt to accommodate people.
Confirmation of acceptance for retreat participation and details including directions will be sent out as soon as possible after the applications have been processed.
Three meals per day will be provided; the main meal is served at lunchtime. The meals will provide a selection of foods that allow those with minimal food sensitivities to make choices and/or avoid certain dishes. Those meditators who require additional specialized food preparation, other than vegetarian, non-wheat or non-diary special menu choices or find that the choices of food types prepared is not appropriate for their diet, are welcome to bring their own supplementary foods and will find storage and preparation space available in the Teahouse facility.
Inquiries may also be sent to inquiries@buddhistplace.org or call 705-745-6691.
