This retreat is jointly taught by Malcolm McClintock and Patrick Kearney. It is designed for experienced practitioners who are independent in their practice. We will form a community of practice where shared practice will replace the normal structure of workshops, dharma talks and scheduled interviews. Practising together, we will meet each evening to share our daily experiences, just as the students of the Buddha did in the earliest days of the dharma. Malcolm and Patrick will be available for individual consultation when practitioners request it. Otherwise, we will simply practise together.

The retreat is open to yogis who have completed at least one retreat of four weeks or longer in the mahasi tradition. Applications for experienced yogis who have not completed a mahasi style retreat of this duration will be accepted with approval from Malcolm or Patrick.
