Each class will include a talk from Aaron, time for questions and answers, and related meditation instruction and practice. Together, we remember that which is already awake and the practices that support resting in awakened presence in the midst of the turmoil of daily life. In a world of challenges, how do we respond and participate from a place of clarity and lovingkindness? For experienced students with background in Insight Meditation or similarly related meditation practice.

Fall Retreat 2026: “Finding our Still Center in the Midst of the Storm”
A week-long silent meditation retreat, in Michigan
Saturday, October 17 – Friday, October 23, 2026
Location: Maryville Retreat Center, Holly, MI
Led by Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr.
Considering the challenges and chaos that are rampant in our world today, it is important that we find our still center. The ability to relate skillfully to what is happening in the world grows out of our dharma and meditation practice.
During our retreat, instruction and practice in Vipassana and Pure Awareness meditation within the container of Nobel Silence will help us to find our still center and to rest in it, opening us to a deeper experience of ease, insight and peace. The retreat is being held at Maryville Retreat Center, a beautiful facility that is spacious, quiet and conducive to the kind of practice we are doing. People of all levels of experience are welcome to join us!
