I haven't done a silent retreat before. Are there Drala programs to build up to this?

Drala offers 'Foundations of Meditation I: Establishing the Ground' and 'Foundations of Meditation II: Deepening the Path,' both with multiple dates. These are a natural way to build a sitting practice before a silent intensive. Whether this retreat requires prior experience isn't stated in the material, so check the listing's prerequisites.

Can I try Drala's teaching before committing to a silent intensive?

Yes, Drala lists a free online series, the 'Drala Mountain Online Practice Series,' as well as other free online programs. These let you get a feel for the center's style of meditation instruction before an extended in-person retreat.

How do I register, and where do I find the price and lodging details?

Registration goes through the retreat listing on Drala Mountain Center's website, dralamountain.org. Pricing, accommodation options, and meal arrangements aren't in the information available here, so rely on the official registration page for those.

Descrizione

Silent Meditation Intensive: The Cradle of Loving-Kindness is a silent meditation retreat led by Loden Nyima at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It is for people who want to practice in silence, with loving-kindness as the focus of the retreat, in a dedicated retreat setting in the mountains of northern Colorado.

Loden Nyima teaches this intensive at Drala Mountain Center, which hosts a wide calendar of meditation and mindfulness retreats alongside programs in the Buddhist path, yoga, creative expression and the natural world. The Cradle of Loving-Kindness is one of the center's silent retreats, and Loden Nyima also leads a longer silent week of meditation there.

FAQ

The title points to loving-kindness (metta) meditation, the traditional practice of silently offering wishes of well-being, first to yourself and then outward to others. Drala's page excerpt doesn't give the daily schedule or the teacher's specific method, so check the full retreat listing on dralamountain.org for the program outline.

It is billed as a Silent Meditation Intensive, so silence is central to the format. The material I have doesn't spell out the exact rules, such as whether there are check-ins with teachers or any speaking periods. Confirm those details with Drala Mountain Center before registering if that matters to you.

It is listed at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Drala runs some programs online or hybrid, and those are labeled that way in its retreat listings. This intensive isn't labeled online or hybrid in the information available, so treat it as in person unless the registration page says otherwise.

Drala lists a 'Buddhist Path' category alongside separate 'Meditation & Mindfulness' offerings, so it is a Buddhist-rooted center. The page text doesn't say how much Buddhist language or ritual this particular intensive includes. Read the program description or ask Drala if you want to know how contemplative or secular the teaching will be.
