September 11 - 14 Julie Wester
A Vipassana Retreat for Women
In stillness and in movement, in silence and in sounding, we explore our true nature each present moment. There will be invitations for sitting, walking, and movement meditation, both silent and guided. The retreat will be held primarily in silence, with generous personal time, as well as dharma talks and opportunities for group sharing. The relaxed meditation schedule will include silent bathing hours.
Julie Wester has been a practitioner of Vipassana meditation since 1973, and has led Vipassana retreats for women at Breitenbush since 1985. Her teaching, including guided movement and sensory exploration, reflects her training with Ruth Denison of the U Ba Khin lineage. She is a member of the Guiding Teacher’s Council at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California.
