The daily schedule is a suggestion for retreatants, but it does not necessarily have to be followed rigidly. Jhana Grove’s daily schedule is somewhat flexible, grounded in kindness and ease. It is encouraged for the meditator to develop and follow their mindfulness on how to guide their day and when to sit meditation, walk meditation, or rest.  Below is an example of a schedule, but please note that each retreat will have a timetable adjusted by the teacher.
