Full-moon Day Meditation

Saturday 4th November 2017

The schedule is 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. If you cannot get here until 8:00 or 9:00 am, that’s fine, but please send me an email to let me know that you intend to come, as I have limited space. If you have no previous experience of the Mahāsi meditation method, please read the short booklets recommended on the Retreats Page.
