Upcoming Programs

One of the main priorities of the Sangha is that of organizing retreats. It is our belief that regular attendance at retreats is an essentially component of Dharma practice. The Sangha currently organizes 2-3 major residential retreats each year in addition to several shorter day-long retreats. You can download retreat flyers and registration forms in Adobe PDF format for those retreats where the flyers have been created. And of ourse, if you prefer, contact one of the managers and have them send you a flyer. Scholarships are available.

(NOTE: PDF stands for Portable Document Format and requires that you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. Most newer computers already have Acrobat intalled. If not you can download here and install it.)

Essential Dharma Series - 2/22/2012

 

The Durango Dharma Center is pleased to announce the winter session of the 4th Essential Dharma Series, a program for those who desire a deeper connection to the Dharma within a community of dedicated practitioners. The Essential Dharma Series is open to those who have completed a Beginners Class at the Dharma Center or who have had residential meditation retreat experience.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Learning to Awaken in Our Day-To-Day Lives

In this class we will cover the Buddha’s path to awakening that is described so clearly in his foundational teaching on the Noble Eightfold Path. The Noble Eightfold path is the Buddha’s recommended response to the problem of suffering as laid out in the First and Second Noble Truths. The Buddha’s message of awakening is not reserved for monastics only, but can be realized in our everyday lives.

Meditation on the River with Bill Ball & Erin Treat, April 14, 2012

 

JOIN US for a time of serenity and quiet on this gentle part of the Colorado River as we drift past canyon walls and spires, sleep under brilliant night skies and meld mindful awareness with the healing beauty of the desert landscape. This raft trip will take us through Ruby and Horsethief Canyons on the Colorado River. Starting near the Colorado-Utah border, we will take our time on the 25 mile stretch, exploring side canyons as we go.

This will be a silent meditation retreat with formal group meditation, mindful wandering meditation, hikes, talking circles, guided meditation and Dharma talks by Bill and Erin. This retreat is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators.
