Two Day January Meditation Retreat:
Led by BPNB Community
Sunday January 15 & Monday January 16, 2023
9:00 am-5:00 pm at the Meditation Hall
Bodhi Path Natural Bridge
Sit. Walk. Share.
You are invited to a meditation retreat at Bodhi Path Natural Bridge (BPNB) Sunday, January 15 and Monday, January 16.
Beginning and seasoned meditators are encouraged to participate in this donation-based event facilitated by BPNB community members. Please consider participating in some or all of the sessions. See preliminary schedule, below.
Our resident Dharma Teacher, Tsony, is on Sabbatical in 2023. We are inspired by his wishes that we use this time to cultivate community learning and deepen our practice.
The timing of this retreat coincides with the Federal holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our intention is to honor his life by developing our meditation practice. Participants who wish to do so, have the opportunity to participate in the MLK day parade In Lexington on Monday morning.
Some housing is available on our campus. The cost is $45 per night. If you are interested in this possible option, please indicate that when you register for the retreat. Lodgers would need to bring their own linens. Blankets and pillows are provided.
We hope to see you in January to begin a year of renewal.
