This daylong retreat is offered for anyone ready to explore the experience of meditation, or to take a break from the noisy world to relax into the true nature of mind. What is meditation? How does one “do it?” What questions arise for me? This is an opportunity to learn and practice in community.
Join Kathe McKenna and Tracie Palmer to explore different ways of meditating and being. Busy mind? Feeling antsy? Drowsy? No problem! Meditation arises from the innate capabilities that already exist in our minds. There’s no need to do anything special- and there are numerous techniques practiced over thousands of years that can help us to shift our relationship to our thoughts, our emotions, and our environment.
Please join us to:
Learn the basics- meditation need not be complicated or mysterious!
Practice with support and ask questions
Make connections that can support your ongoing practice
Spend the day meditating with guidance and support, learning about different meditation techniques, and connecting with others who share the wish to settle, find calm in the midst of the busyness of the world, and connect with our shared goodness.
No experience necessary! All are welcome!

Program Cost
Our program fees provide essential support to our non-profit operations and NDF’s mission to spread the Dharma in accessible, relevant, and creative ways. Our goal is that no one misses out on our events due to lack of funds. Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to offer tiered pricing and additional support to fit varied financial situations:
May All Beings Benefit! *– supporting access for all and general support for NDF operations
A Middle Way – covering the base cost
Held in Sangha Loving-kindness – offering ease when financial resources are limiting
If the lowest cost tier creates an obstacle to your attendance, please see our financial support options on the registration page. The process is simple and does not require extensive information. Financial aid is immediately approved using discount code options that allow you to contribute the most you are able while honoring your particular resources.
* The difference between the May All Beings Benefit! tier and the Middle Way tier will be considered a tax-deductible donation and will be acknowledged as such in writing. Contributing at this level helps us offer financial aid to other participants. Thank you!!
Access to Recordings
NDF offers unlimited access to recordings, which are available in your user dashboard (more information about user accounts provided in a pre-retreat letter). If you have a user account, please register with the same email you use to log into your dashboard. If not, an account will be created for you using your registration address.
Availability will vary depending on the type of event and the backlog for our precious resource volunteers. Thank you for your patience.
