Come spend the weekend at ILA's beautiful Benedict Canyon Retreat House deepening your Insight meditation practice with other meditators.

By bringing mindful attention to our moment to moment experience, we can learn to cultivate resilience amidst change. We will focus on practices that quiet the mind and open the heart, allowing us to access gratitude for what is, in the midst of it all.

There will be periods of silent sitting and walking meditation with some instruction and guidance, a Dharma talk, and discussion. Enjoy the seclusion and peace that a weekend of quiet practice in community offers. 

Participants are encouraged to continue practicing mindfulness in the evenings at home on Saturday to strengthen their continuity of mindfulness for the full retreat experience, although this is a non-residential retreat. 

Cost: Sliding Scale from $100-200 per person
