Ah, I see. Sorry that wasn’t clear. Yes, Darlene is currently still in Culadasa’s teacher training program, although she does not solely teach from a Mind Illuminated perspective.
As a policy, we’re not going to hold the misconduct of a teacher against their students. When invited here they will be assessed on their own merits and fitness to…[Read more]

Not exactly though I do appreciate your answer.
What I am asking is if Darlene – your slated teacher in residence is studying currently with John Yates? The description makes it seem as if she is and I think it’s important that DT exercise complete transparency in this regard so that retreatants understand what we are working with when we a…[Read more]

Hello!
We are still in the process of defining the direction of the organization and, by extension, the retreat center. We will be working on expanding the pool of resident teachers to include those from other traditions and teaching backgrounds. That being said, TMI-trained teachers will continue to make up at least part of that pool for the…[Read more]

The current board is taking applicants for a new board, and is hoping to start interviews in later September. I think a lot is up in the air right now.

Filip replied to the topic New Board? in the forum Dharma Treasure Community Information 5 years, 2 months ago
By the way, does anyone involved with this situation would like to come out with more details?
I assume that here, at this forum, there are people who know Culadasa personally and may give some new information that will help us understand what really happened and why.

Hi Dennis,
In the personal meditation retreats section of the website (https://dharmatreasure.org/personal-meditation-retreats/) says “The Dharma Treasure Retreat Center is currently being reorganized, and we are NOT taking retreat bookings at this time. Please check back after September 15th.”
I guess they will be taking a decision about the…[Read more]

Hello,
You will notice in your meditation that at times nothing is where we think it should be lol. Ricardo, eye position response is helpful for sure. The stage you are at may also determine any answer one might provide. To Lemmefly…there is a difference between the “initial appearance, and the acquired appearance of the breath…in the…[Read more]

Has a new board been chosen? If so, who are they?
Is there any information about how the Sangha is going to move forward in the current situation?

Ricardo replied to the topic Breath not really in the center in the forum Meditation 5 years, 2 months ago
Hi lemmefly,
Yes, I’ve noticed something similar. In the book The Mind Illuminated it is advised that one should position their eyes as if you were reading a book. This has helped me. However, sometimes by putting the breath sensations in the centre I feel cross-eyed and that leads to a bit of discomfort. When that happens, I try to relax my eyes…[Read more]

Hi guys,
I have recently taken up meditation again using the sensations of the breath at the nose as my object.
However, I’ve noticed that while looking straight ahead with my closed eyes, it never really feels like the breath sensations are in the (spacial) center of my field of attention/perception, but always a little below it. This seems to…[Read more] -

thanks Alex, I do have an account on that subreddit and I just asked one of the moderators for permission to post this announcement. It is part of the policy of that subreddit that teachers have to ask permission first, as the posts are supposed to be for students to ask questions.
cheers

Hey Pierre,
I think many people on the TMI subreddit would like to hear about this. If you don’t have an account I can pass it on.
