The teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya (a Burmese monk and Vipassana teacher), are often refered to as the “open awarenes” or “natural awareness” method. During our time together we delve into this method of meditation, which includes mindfulness, curiosity, and receptivity. Let us gently shift our focus from striving for specific outcomes to welcoming the richness of each moment as it unfolds. Through cultivating open awareness, we invite ourselves to intimately connect with the present, acknowledging its joys and challenges with equanimity.

You have to play, play with awareness and the mind. Then it becomes very interesting. Use your know-how and wit. If meditation feels like a responsibility, it’ll just be a burden. Create your world. It’s a game called Master Mind.” ~ Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Description
We are delighted to hold our Fall Retreat at the Richmond Hill Retreat Center (RHRC), an urban oasis, located in the heart of historic Richmond, Virginia. Nestled atop Church Hill, the city’s highest point, Richmond Hill offers a serene sanctuary within the bustling urban landscape.

During our retreat at RHRC, we’ll be practicing sitting and walking meditation. There will also be meditation instructions, Dharma talks and a chance to discuss your practice with the teacher. The retreat is suitable for beginning as well as experienced meditators. Beginners are asked to familiarize themselves with Vipassana meditation on the page for beginners on our website.

At the heart of our exploration during this retreat lies the Satipatthana Sutta, a cornerstone teaching attributed to the Buddha. This profound discourse outlines the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, guiding us to cultivate a deep awareness of the body, feeling tones, mind, and phenomena.
