About Peace in Nature
- What it is
- A full-day, self-guided Theravada retreat out in nature, inspired by how monastics in the Kammaṭṭhāna tradition practice in the wilderness. We’ll have morning and evening Pūjā, quiet periods of sitting and walking meditation, lunch where you can share food with other participants (dāna), and an afternoon tea break with light snacks. We’ll also dedicate time for self-reflection (attaññutā) to gently take stock of our own path in conviction (saddhā), virtue (sīla), learning (suta), generosity (cāga), discernment (paññā), and quick-witted clarity (paṭibhāna).
