A Retreat for the Order of Interbeing
February 1-4 2024 at MorningSun in Alstead, NH
Dear Order of Interbeing Friends,
We hope that you are enjoying the changing of the seasons…
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us in a gathering of Order of Interbeing members at Morning Sun Mindfulness Center in Alstead, New Hampshire.
This wintertime retreat will be full of quiet practice, pertinent teachings, care-filled discussions and joyful togetherness.
We are very fortunate to have the guidance of Dharma teachers Fern Dorresteyn and Michael Ciborski, with their perspective gained from years at Plum Village with Thich Nhat Hanh.
Logistics:
Arrival is Thursday afternoon with a formal check in after 4pm and program beginning with dinner. Departure is after lunch on Sunday, although we would love support for cleanup between 2 and 4pm. Retreatants who would like to stay over Sunday night and depart on Monday are welcome to stay overnight for a small donation to MorningSun.
The cost of the retreat depends on your accommodations and can be calculated by filling out the registration form below. We have dormitory beds in El Cielo (formerly the Barn), and when it fills we can place some overflow in resident homes.
You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally. Please register for the program below (as a commuter), and also book your local accommodations separately (you need to do both).
- A retreat guest space at MorningSun – the Ruby Yurt, is a rental hosted within the MorningSun community. You can check availability and details here: http://rubyyurt.com
- You may also book at other hotels and rentals offered by airbnb, vrbo, etc in the area. Please note that you need to provide your own transportation to and from MorningSun during your program if you register as a commuter.
