1 day Unhindered Online Daylong Retreat with Kodo Conlin
April 4, 2026, Saturday, 9:00 am (PT) to 4:30 pm (PT)
"Yes, but what about this feeling?" For many practitioners, mindfulness practice make sense, but confusion comes when challenging emotions arise. "This shouldn't really be here, should it?" For our practice to become comprehensive, every part of our inner life must be included, emotions and all. For this online daylong we will focus on Mindfulness of Emotions with an emphasis on the hindrances. The day will include sitting and walking meditation, instructions, a dharma talk, and an opportunity to ask questions of the teacher. The retreat will take place in our Zoom virtual Meditation Hall.
