Contemplative Care Retreat
At The Guest House in Chester, Connecticut
Retreat applications are due by January 15th, 2010
With Roshi Enkyo O’Hara, Trudi Jinpu Hirsch, Koshin Paley Ellison & Robert Chodo Campbell, Core Teaching Faculty of the Center for Contemplative Care.
In this retreat, we will take a deep look at how to integrate contemplative practice with care giving, whether at home or in the work place. Combining Buddhist teachings with periods of sitting and walking meditation, didactics, small group work, question and answer periods, this retreat will provide an opportunity to explore the depths of our inner wisdom and compassion. Most importantly, this will be a time to look at how we can take care of ourselves whilst taking care of others.
The retreat will be especially beneficial to nurses, psychotherapists, social workers, chaplains, doctors and lay caregivers.
Guest House is a beautiful new retreat and conference center in the scenic Connecticut River Valley. They offer spacious guest rooms with private bathrooms, superb vegetarian cuisine, and a nurturing and comfortable environment for restoration and meditation. The facility is a renovated country inn on private wooded land, adjacent to a state forest with hiking trails and two neighboring lakes. Conveniently located midway between New York City and Boston, Guest House is easily reachable via major highways or by train.
