About

If you haven't yet join a Buddhist Boondockers retreat, nows your chance. Please go to https://facebook.com/events/s/buddhist-boondockers-mammoth-l/755981896317057/?mibextid=Gg3lNB to mark yourself as "GOING" ~ All are welcome to join Buddhist Boondockers Mammoth Lakes, CA Retreat from June 18th to June 21st. ~ We will gather together on free land near the hotspring to practice mindfulness thru guided sitting, walking, herbal tea drinking, Metta (loving-friendliness) meditation and Dharma discussion. There will also be some chanting and Q&A. ~ There is NO FEE for this retreat. The teachings of the Buddha have been sustained by the 2,500 year old tradition of dana, a Pali word meaning "generosity.โ€ Stacey receives no compensation for her service. Retreatants are encouraged to offer support by offering donations at the retreat's end. In the act of giving, we develop our ability to let go, cultivate a spirit of caring, and honor our inter-connectedness. ~ Participants are expected to have an open heart and mind, and be willing to dedicate their time to developing a meditation practice. It's preferable and more beneficial for yourself and others to stay for the entire retreat but If you need to join after the start or leave early, please let Stacey know ahead of time. ~ This retreat is not intensive or silent, but please know it is not a social gathering either; there will be plenty of time to ask questions and/or share, but otherwise it's a time to look inward, reflect and develop a foundation for a meditation practice that will last a lifetime. ~ Please mark yourself as going on the Facebook event page and Stacey will reach out to you before the start of the retreat. ~ Stacey has been meditating and studying Buddhism for over 25 years. She has studied under some of the most prominent Buddhist scholars and Meditation teachers like Bhikhu Bodhi, Bhante Gunarantana (Bhante G) and Sayadaw U Tejaniya to name a few. She's been in both the Ch'an (Zen) and Theravada tradition and has traveled and lived in Myanmar and Sri Lanka to further her knowledge and practice. Stacey has been teaching meditation since 2018 and started leading retreats in person and on line since 2021. Stacey is an extremely dedicated Buddhist practitioner, and nothing gives her more pleasure than sharing what she's spent decades learning with others, especially with the nomadic community. ~ If you will be attending the retreat, we ask to keep the shared space a (recreational) weed and alcohol free zone. ~ Exact coordinates will be posted before the start of the retreat ~ Please feel free to contact Stacey with any questions. Also looking for some minor assistance if anyone would like to volunteer to help, thank you ๐Ÿ™ โ˜ธ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™‚
