Weekend
Retreat at the Dharma Centre
“Simplicity”
Dharma Centre, Kinmount ON
May 9-11, 2008
The Buddhist Place is very fortunate to be able to host a weekend
sangha residential retreat at the Dharma Centre in Kinmount with
the theme of Simplicity. The retreat will begin Friday evening
and end after the midday meal on Sunday. The retreat will follow
a schedule with alternating sitting and walking meditation. There
will be instructions and reflections by sangha members. Morning
and evening sessions of Chikung will be offered.
The Dharma Centre is situated on a 400 acre property located north-east
of Toronto, near Kinmount. Founded in 1966, the Dharma Centre
is one of the oldest meditation centers in North America. The
Dharma Center offers single and shared accommodation in a beautiful
setting of Ontario woodlands, streams and meadows. There is a
main administration building which contains the kitchen and dining
room that seats 28. On the property the centre's members constructed
the Temple building, where most of the activities take place.

The intention is to make the teachings as accessible as possible.
There is a spot on the application to indicate if the retreat
fee would cause financial hardship and to specify how much you
may be able to offer towards the retreat. In those cases, we will
make every attempt to accommodate people.
Confirmation of acceptance for retreat participation and details
including directions will be sent out as soon as possible after
the applications have been processed.
Three meals per
day will be provided; the main meal is served at lunchtime. The
meals will provide a selection of foods that allow those with
minimal food sensitivities to make choices and/or avoid certain
dishes. Those meditators who require additional specialized food
preparation, other than vegetarian, non-wheat or non-diary special
menu choices or find that the choices of food types prepared is
not appropriate for their diet, are welcome to bring their own
supplementary foods and will find storage and preparation space
available in the Teahouse facility.
