Residential Weekend Meditation Retreat at Hidden Paradise with Dana Marsh
Topic: The Heart of Wisdom
Dates: May 1 -3, 2026
A contemplative meditation retreat led by Dana Marsh centered on reaching a definitive conclusion about the empty nature of self and phenomena. This retreat will guide participants through experiential inquiry into the nature of self, thoughts, emotions, and phenomena. This practice is not about adopting a philosophical belief; it is about directly experiencing the insubstantial nature of the self and phenomena. Participants will be invited to directly examine their assumptions through meditation, dialogue, and guided inquiry.
Hidden Paradise offers an ideal environment for retreat and reflection, situated in a serene mountain setting, removed from the everyday distractions of daily life. Residential retreats at this location provide a valuable opportunity for deepening meditation practice and immersing oneself in dharma teachings. There are many benefits for those who participate in such retreats. If you have yet to experience a residential retreat, this unique opportunity can be profoundly transformative.
