Seven Factors of Awakening, Motivation, and Daily Practice
This weekend retreat offers a practical exploration of three core themes: the Seven Factors of Awakening, the role of motivation in overcoming distraction and sinking, and the integration of daily meditation practice.
We will examine how the seven factors—mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity—serve both as tools within shamatha and vipassanā meditation and form a path to insight and calm.
They are living qualities we can cultivate to guide and nurture our mind, both on and off the cushion. Each session will begin by grounding the mind in renunciation—the willingness to see and let go of what disturbs the mind—and bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration to awaken as part of the web of life. These motivations not only settle the mind but also provide a healthy sense of agency and purpose.
We’ll also explore how to sustain practice in daily life, using practical strategies to meet challenges with awareness and resilience. Meditation is not only a formal discipline, but a way of inhabiting life with presence and care.
Combining guided meditation, teachings, and group reflection, this retreat supports both new and experienced practitioners in cultivating a steady, joyful, and integrated path.
