Mindfulness Retreat

I'm hoping to shed of a lot of mental and emotional weight this coming weekend at the Deerpark Monastery in San Diego county. I have never been on a spiritual/Buddhist retreat before and I am very excited. Flying solo, this is a welcome challenge. I have been needing some time to gather myself and re-center my life.

I am arriving late Friday afternoon and leaving for home Sunday evening.
This is a sample of what the schedule is going to look like:

5:00 a.m. Wake up - Temple Bell in 30 minutes
5:45 Sitting Meditation - Walking Meditation
7:30 Breakfast
9:00 Working Meditation or Dharma Talk
12:00 p.m. Lunch
2:00 Rest / Personal Time
3:00 Classes / Meeting
4:30 Sports and Exercises
5:30 Light Dinner
7:00 Sitting Meditation and Chanting
9:30 Noble Silence
10:30 Light Out and Bed Time
