The Restful Jhānas: Finding Stillness in Sensory Experience
Leader: Colleen Godfrey
Type of Program: Special Theme
Prerequisites: Some experience with Noting and Concentration, Sensory Clarity & Equanimity, plus seated, eyes-closed practice, will be helpful.
Clear, structured guidance will be provided.
Fee: $20 per person
Using Shinzen Young’s Focus on Rest framework, we’ll explore how classical markers of absorption manifest through six sensory “flavors” of tranquility—Relaxation, Light, Silence, Peace, Quiet, and Gone. We’ll compare and contrast a theme of drishti-based focused attention with relaxed, defocused awareness as we explore the terrain of the first four jhānas. Through guided practice, discussion, self practice, tangible sensory experience, and Q&A, participants will learn to recognize and rest within these states, cultivating high concentration and restful abiding that naturally evolves from embodied joy to deep equanimity.

Love, Unbound
Leader: Kevin Lacroix
Type of Program: Special Theme
Prerequisites: None
Fee: $20 per person
As we practice, we may uncover a false dichotomy we've been carrying, often unconsciously: that non-dual realization (seeing the non-separate wholeness of, well, everything) rejects personal experience. As though fully embodying compassion, empathy, and love in the relative world requires holding onto a solid, separate "me," and as though transcending form demands abandoning the richness of interpersonal connection altogether.
Yet as we practice letting thoughts and feelings arise and pass freely—without compiling them into a "me"—we may begin to notice something deeper: the open presence in which all experience unfolds is itself loving and compassionate. When love and compassion are unbound from personal stories, we may discover that the experience of them is at once more intimate and more expansive.
In this session, we will use our imagination to feel what it's like to be completely seen and accepted unconditionally. In doing so, we may find that the urge to protect ourselves with separateness naturally disarms, revealing a sense of love and compassion that is already and always present—unbound from the constraints of separateness, freely available to be felt, embodied, and expressed.
