Weekend of Meditation, Dharma and Personal Guidance
Meditation, Dharma and Personal Guidance
This retreat will be a weekend retreat similar to other weekends, namely a taste of silent Vipassana dharma practice, but it will have a difference.
Much of the teaching will be personal. There will be several Manchei Dharma present, and each yogi will meet daily (i.e. on friday and on saturday) with one of the Manchei Dharma to receive guidance, share experience and have a dialogue that is intended to help insight.
It is a reminder of a tradition going back to the time of the Buddha when senior monks would sit under the trees with the juniors and offer guidance.
Teacher: Stephen Fulder
Will be held at: Ein Dor.
Arrival at Ein Dor at 14:00 to 16:00 for registration and organization. The course will end on Saturday at 18:00.
The retreat is suitable for new and experienced practitioners alike.

Volunteering in the course
For the holding of courses and their success many helping hands are needed, both as members of the kitchen staff and particularly for management of the courses and the kitchen. Volunteers in the courses experience a "Service Retreat" that is an opportunity to combine giving and practicing meditation and is a bridge between sitting on the pillow and everyday life.
Tovana is based and mostly run by volunteers. During the year, there are about 200 practitioners volunteering in various courses in Ein Dor, in addition to about 50 volunteers in permanent roles.
You are invited to volunteer and practice while doing.
