What actually is “Mindfulness”? How have Buddhist traditions defined this through the ages? How do different Buddhist traditions practice Mindfulness and what practices developed over time? What are both the dangers and benefits of different forms of mindfulness? What differences are there between Buddhist and secular forms of mindfulness?

This course will answer all these questions and more during a 3-day retreat period mixing historical and textual lectures with guided meditations on the variety of Buddhist traditions that have developed teachings and mindfulness practices. Being able to learn such practices in traditional sacred spaces only enhances and deepens the experience.
