In November 2022 Gilbert visited DDM Chicago to lead the first in-person retreat since 2019. We were very grateful to have Gilbert visit our center. Below you will find some pictures of the retreat as well as links to the recordings (podcast as well as youtube) and some lecture material (Hongren’s Treatise on the Essentials for Cultivating the Mind).
