Developing the Mind, Strengthening the Heart: Jill Shepherd

Join this four-day residential retreat for a rich and immersive journey into insight meditation. Through direct experience, participants will explore the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as taught in the Satipatthana Sutta, while also being supported by the brahma vihara practices of kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.

This retreat offers a spacious setting to strengthen both inner clarity and emotional resilience. With a balance of guided practice and reflective inquiry, attendees can expect to deepen their understanding of mindfulness in a way that is both practical and transformative. The supportive atmosphere creates room for steady contemplation, heart-centered awareness, and a more grounded relationship with each moment.

Designed as a residential experience over four days, the retreat invites sincere practitioners to settle in, turn inward, and cultivate qualities that nourish both mind and heart.
