This ten-day Anapanasati/Concentration retreat is for experienced Dhamma students (see prerequisites below.) Guidance will be offered for the development and nurturing of deep concentration leading towards Jhana in the lineage of Burmese meditation master Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw.  There will also be some Metta practice guidance offered.

The retreat will be held in Noble Silence and will consist of alternate periods of sitting and walking, some guided sitting instructions, Dhamma Talks and every-other-day individual practice meetings.  The small group size at Hermitage retreats (a maximum of 15 students) helps to create a more intimate experience and easier access to the teacher.

A scholarship fund has been established to offer financial aid to those who would otherwise not be able to attend.

Applications and deposits are requested by August 12, 2026. Late applications will be considered on a space available basis.  All yogis will have a single room with private bath.  Space is limited to 15 yogis so please apply early.
