SUMMARY:Free Weekend Meditation Retreat (Online) - September 11 to September 13\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:A free weekend meditation retreat\, held entirely over Zoom. Sessions are Friday at 6pm\, Saturday at noon\, and Sunday at noon\, US Central time. \nIt is designed for real people with real lives — whether you are a complete beginner or have been meditating for years. The goal is to give you as much time to practise as possible\, alongside time for group and individual conversation. \nWhat you will do\nYou will learn a gentle\, loving-kindness-based meditation practice drawn from the Buddha’s earliest recorded teachings. Most meditation methods ask you to fight your wandering mind. This one doesn’t — the emphasis is on ease\, smiling and kindness\, because effort and seriousness create exactly the tension you are trying to release. People often find it enjoyable from the very first session\, which is not what most of us were taught to expect. \nBefore you come\nYou will be asked to watch a short how-to video and read a small amount of material\, so that you get the most from your time. \nPractical details\n\nEntirely online over Zoom — join from anywhere in the world\nLimited to five people\, so everyone gets individual attention\nCompletely free. No fees\, no subscriptions\, no upsells\nThe Zoom link is sent to you shortly before the retreat begins\n\nHow to join\nRegister on the Weekend Zoom Retreats page and we will be in touch with the details. \nThe Tranquil Mind is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We have been gathering to practise together since 2019\, and everything we offer is free. \nThis retreat will be led by Nathaniel Heidler.
