The successful bidder for this lot will take part in True North Insight's Online Retreat: New Year's retreat with Jill Davey, December 30, 2021 to January 1, 2022.

This retreat offers a time to join together in community and silence, entering the New Year as we cultivate reflection and intention. We will be supported by the meditation practice, Dharma talks, and an old year/new year transition ritual. We are happy to invite those who are new to Vipassana practice (Insight Meditation) as well as those who are familiar with this 2600-year-old tradition.

To fully benefit from the retreat, we invite you to commit to the retreat from beginning to end. We understand that you may not be able to attend all the sessions. In addition to the formal meditation practice, we’d like to offer some restorative time each day on this retreat – to rest, to take a walk, to continue with the formal practice, to simply be outdoors and listen or to prepare a nourishing meal, to be mindfully engaged in silence with something that will be restorative.

The mission of True North Insight is rooted in Early Buddhist teachings, with openness to other Buddhist traditions. TNI engages Buddhist teachings to serve the healing, thriving, and awakening of individuals, communities, and the world. The liberation of each one of us is bound up with the liberation of all, and we are committed to evolving as an inclusive Dharma organization. We offer a range of Dharma practices in locales throughout Quebec and Ontario and seek to maintain a standard of integrity, kindness, and alignment with Buddhadharma in all we do.
