Cultivating Inner Confidence
🎄Bodhifriends Christmas Meditation Retreat 2025

Return to Your True Home This Holiday Season

Dates: December 26–28, 2025
Location: Bodhi Friends Meditation Center (BFMC)

​As winter settles over the world and the year draws to a close, we turn inward to contemplate the Dharma. This 3-day Christmas Meditation Retreat offers a quiet space to recognize impermanence, release grasping,
and return to the inner refuge that the Buddha taught—a refuge not found in the outer world, but in the clarity and compassion of one’s own awakened heart.
Grounded in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, we will practice calming the body, steadying the mind, and observing the movements of feeling, thought, and habit. Through silent sitting, mindful walking, chanting, and Dharma reflection, we cultivate the wisdom that sees clearly, and the compassion that embraces all beings without discrimination.
This is a time to let go of the old year’s burdens, to purify the heart through mindfulness, and to rediscover the joy that arises when we meet each moment with non-clinging and sincerity.

• Sitting & walking meditation following traditional mindfulness instructions
