Affectionate awareness as a path to liberationWith Michele McDonald & Jesse Maceo Vega-Frey

Friday November 28 - Saturday December 6 ( nine days)

Location: Palolo Zen Center, Honolulu

Develop compassionate awareness and a more loving heart with metta and vipassana practice. Experience nine days in Palolo Valley cultivating unconditional love, wise compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. These four immeasurables are meditations fusing innate spiritual emotions with the intuitive wisdom of vipassana.

Michele McDonald has been teaching for over 30 years and has taught with Jesse regularly for the past 7. They are each skilled in transmitting a six-sense door awareness practice including affectionate awareness and reverence for our bodies. They offer effective tools to make practice work for each individual student, liberating the heart-mind with clarity, ease, and authenticity. For more information about the teachers, click here.

The retreat will be hosted by Palolo Zen Center, which offers simple, dormitory accommodations in a green, natural setting. Options for the retreat are residential and non-residential. Single rooms are not available. Weekend-only participation (Friday Nov 28 - Sunday Nov 30) is offered for those who cannot attend the full retreat, also residential/non-residential.

Vipassana Hawai‘i works hard to keep registration fees restricted to basic retreat expenses. Your additional contribution, on whatever level you can afford, and provided in the optional donation field below the registration, supports us in our daily work so the teachings may continue into the future. Thank you for considering!
