Resting the Mind

There are many mindfulness techniques that bring some temporary relief from distractions and anxieties. The 2500-year-old path of Buddhist meditation is unique because it is designed to uproot their causes.

Join us for a weekend of Buddhist meditation on the forested shores of Daisy Lake at Sea to Sky Retreat Centre. There will be a few dharma talks as well as guided instruction in sitting and walking meditation. Both beginning and experienced meditators are welcome. The retreat will be led by Bruce Ashton, a practice instructor of Siddhartha’s Intent and senior student of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
