Join us for a four day residential Thaypassana retreat with Janice Cittasubha Sheppard and David Haskin at the beautiful Siena Retreat Center in Racine, WI, October 20-23, 2022.

We all want “the real deal,” but often we settle on things that fall short of that ideal. Real gems are always more beautiful than costume jewelry made from paste. The most artistic silk flower can never match the beauty of a living rose. The freedom that the Buddha points us toward is the genuine “real deal” that leads us to true awakening. In this retreat, through meditation, talks and Q & A, we will investigate for ourselves what this genuine freedom is, and what are pale approximations that do not lead to the end of suffering.
