Lunch: Please provide your own lunch. There is a refrigerator and a microwave available.
Meditation supplies: If you prefer a cushion or bench please bring whatever you normally use. There will be chairs available.
Silence: While there will be readings and recorded talks, participants are encouraged to maintain silence throughout all the activities of the day.
