The DharmaMind Snowdonia Summer Retreat 2008 Led by David Smith Retreat. The silent retreat runs from Saturday August 16th until Saturday August 23rd 2008 and will have extensive periods of sitting and walking meditation, along with practice reviews. There will also be instruction plus talks and question and answer sessions on the nature of mind practice and how we apply this simple yet deeply profound form of Dharma practice to both our meditation and daily life. We will learn how to take our practise into the beautiful surroundings as we explore the lake and stunning environment that we will be a part of. Retreat Leader.
