2022 New Year, New Moment Online Retreat

2022 New Year, New Moment Online Retreat
Saturday, January 8, 2022, 9AM - 4PM (US Eastern Time)
with Margaret Fletcher

Program Overview

To take care of a life in mindfulness, we need to carefully tend what we most value. Spending time in sustained formal retreat can provide an important means for nurturing your practice. Let’s have this day together as 2022 begins, to live inside the desire and the experience of wakefulness.

In this daylong silent retreat, you will be guided in a day given over to being present, aware and attuned to life unfolding. Together in silent community, we will weave practice right into the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. A commitment to welcome all of who you are, while holding to a high standard of formal practice, will create the container for group practice. The day will conclude with time to reflect on the experience of sustained practice and to speak together about the value and challenges of time on retreat.

Designed for graduates of the MBSR or MBCT course (or for those who have an established formal mindfulness practice), this silent retreat is for anyone who is wondering about or wishing for extended retreat time to serve their ongoing mindfulness practice.

This retreat is led by Margaret Fletcher.

Considerations Around Paying for Events Offered by East Coast Mindfulness

Your payment for courses and trainings at East Coast Mindfulness supports—
2 women working independently to do the heart work they’re trained and skilled at, without financial backing from, or healthcare covered by, an institution.

1 meticulous meditating webmaster/videographer who keeps things rolling on the techno front at ECM.

Highly skilled adjunct mindfulness teachers and trainers we pay out-of-pocket to ensure that voices from across the world are heard.

Free Worldwide Sits we plan for, deliver live, and record every Thursday: the video of each session is posted on our site for on-demand access.

Small class sizes for all our courses and trainings, to allow for intimate, individualized attention for our students and trainees, whom we love.
Please pay at the highest tier available to you, while honoring your life situation. Any reduced rate we give is not funded by a scholarship fund; it’s an offering that comes directly from our earnings.

That said, if your situation makes it unrealistic for you to pay at our lowest tiered rates (for instance, you have lost your livelihood or live in a country whose exchange rate is very low relative to $US), please email us at info@eastcoastmindfulness.com.

Let us know the event you’re interested in registering for, as well as if splitting the lowest tier registration cost into multiple payments would allow you to participate. If a payment amount below the lowest tier is required to support your participation in an event, please let us know that, as well as the amount you’re able to pay. We want to meet you where you are, and also continue to offer our work in the world and support ourselves.
If Tier 3 is still financially prohibitive for you, please email us so we can find a way for you to participate.
