You’ll sit alongside others committed to the same exploration\, discovering what emerges when we give ourselves the rare gift of sustained time. \nSurrounded by redwoods and mountain views\, Mount Madonna provides a natural container for practice. Whether this is your first residential retreat or your twentieth\, Exploring The Way meets you exactly where you are. The schedule offers structure without rigidity\, with time for both communal sitting and solo wandering. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Note from Henry\nThere’s something that happens on a residential retreat that can’t quite happen anywhere else. When we commit to days of practice together – sitting\, eating\, moving through space more mindfully – the usual chatter of the mind begins to settle\, and we start to open up to a wider clarity. \nI’m delighted to offer this retreat at Mount Madonna Center\, a place I’ve come to love for its beauty and capacity to hold deep practice. Whether this is your first residential retreat or you’re a seasoned practitioner\, I look forward to exploring this path with you. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What to expect at a residential retreat\nThe retreat includes daily meditation\, dharma teachings from Henry\, and extended Q&A sessions. You’ll practice within a committed community of meditators\, with Teaching Assistants available for added support throughout. \nOur schedule offers structure and flexibility — communal sitting\, optional movement sessions and breakout groups\, with ample solo time to wander the land\, rest\, and restore. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Retreat Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, May 19th\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, May 19th\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3:00pm -
