Enjoy a deep Winter re-set with a full weekend of quiet contemplation. We will explore the path of awakening through the lens of the seven factors of enlightenment: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, calm, concentration and equanimity.
We’ll practice yoga, seated and walking meditation, mindful eating, and restfulness and uncover the simple pleasure that is available when we pause and allow the mind to settle.
We will practice together in noble silence, with clear instructions and opportunities for reflections and questions.
Suitable for all levels. Beginners are welcome. Please reach out if you have questions.

Your generosity supports the existence of our Stream community, the programs we offer and our operating costs. The registration fees listed below cover the costs of holding the retreat (administration, food and accommodations).
The teacher(s) do not receive compensation for teaching. It is traditional for teachers to offer the Buddhadharma freely and be supported in turn by the generosity of students. Teachers rely on this generosity to continue to share their experience and understanding of the teachings. There will be an additional opportunity to offer donations (dana) for the teacher at or after the retreat.
Benefactor $525 (inc HST)
The Benefactor rate provides the opportunity to offer a little more to support Stream and allows us to offer reduced rates for others with limited income.
Standard $475 (inc HST)
The Standard rate represents the actual cost. If you can afford this level or higher, you assist our efforts to offer reduced rates.
Reduced $425 (inc HST)
Payment at the Reduced rate covers a portion of the cost and removes barriers for those with limited incomes to attend.
