el Dharma
Robert K. Hall, MD

My 40 years of professional experience as a physician & somatic therapist, along with my meditation practice and training, have led
me to the clear understanding that regular meditation practice is
the most direct path to the discovery of our true nature.

Over the years, I have seen how meditation practice has served individuals to quiet the distracted mind so common in our fast
paced society, and how meditation has become a path for
thousands of individuals seeking a deeper level of understanding
and self-acceptance.

In Vipassana or Insight Meditation we bring our attention to the
body & breath and awaken to what's real in our lives. When we see patterns such as fear, doubt & worry, and understand them more
clearly; we begin to know our lives as they truly are. With practice
and commitment, we begin to open the imprisoned heart & develop more compassion towards our selves and toward all living beings.

El Dharma is my personal vision in which everyone has the
opportunity to practice this way of awakening to love & wisdom.
The Dharma is now available in Todos Santos for individuals who
seek real rest and renewal as a way of healing the troubled mind
and the wounded heart so common in today's society.

I welcome you to join us on Sunday mornings from 10-11:30 a.m.
We begin with a Dharma Talk on a particular topic followed by a
period of guided meditation. Depending on the season, there can
be anywhere from 30 to 100 individuals practicing together. These sessions are held at La A.R.C.A— a spacious and comfortable
dojo located in the heart of Todos Santos.

For those who would like more in-depth practice... I offer One-day
and Five-day Silent Retreats in the lush tropical setting at Alegria
Inn. These retreats are suitable for the beginning student as
well as the experienced practitioner.
