Recognizing Emptiness (Part 2):
A Daylong Retreat with devon + nico hase
Sunday, August 25th
10 am to 4 pm central time
in person in Madison, WI
The Buddhist path culminates in liberation through a direct and abiding recognition of emptiness. But most practitioners find it difficult to access and sustain these deeper states.
In this one-day in-person retreat, devon + nico will guide meditators through a series of experiential exercises designed to recognize and abide in lucid, open space—right here, right now.
The day will begin with an hour of conversation and an opening talk around the theme. We’ll then sit and walk for four hours in lightly guided practice, before reconvening for a closing talk and further dialogue.
While the day will build on nico’s July in-person teaching, those who were not able to attend the previous event will still find the material accessible and engaging, as it is designed to accommodate both new and returning participants.
