During this weeklong silent meditation retreat, we will focus on practices that quiet the mind and open the heart to support the unfolding of insight and compassion. We will learn to bring mindful attention to our moment to moment experience, facilitating a renewed sense of connection with our own bodies, hearts, and minds.

The structure of this Insight meditation retreat includes time for guided and silent sitting meditation, walking meditation, rest, mindful eating, and Dharma talks to deepen our embodied understanding. There will also be small group meetings with the teacher to offer personalized instruction and support.

As we deepen our connection to our direct experience, we cultivate continuity of mindfulness and awaken the heart and mind for greater ease, balance, and clarity in daily life. 

Dana/Generosity: There will also be an opportunity to offer Dana at the end of the retreat. Thank you for your support!
