Retreat - The Way of Happiness

“From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax, to be peaceful, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat...when we can walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend and enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth. This is not a retreat, it is a treat.”

In this quote from Being Peace, Thích Nhât Hanh beautifully describes our need for a refuge from thedemandsofourbusylives. Atimelikethis can help us get in touch with ourselves, and with whatmakesusandourdearoneshappy. Atthis retreat, the Refuge Chant will guide our practice. We will nourish our seeds of happiness, so that we may return to our daily lives restored.
